Edit: Oh, yeah. What did you use?
great!!! Maybe its from dealing with discus, but I deworm and treat for other internal parasites in all my tank about every 6 months. I don't feed live and I try to quarantine everything, I've just found that you can never nuke it all and it has improved the growth of my fish. Let's see some photos!!
i used a product by interpet for anti internal bacteria 10mls for every 100 L 22 G then again after 4 days. it seems to have done the job. what product do you use. i have a problem with my cam so will get some pics in the next week. but i do have some old pics of them as babys i will add soon

Depending on what I think the internal problem is, I use different stuff. If I think its say nematodes of some sort, I use prazipro. If its some sort of flagellate, then I use metronidazole. Given that I am now treat a tank of 600 gallons, I'm working on finding different products. I am trying a product (I think its by National Fish Pharmaceuticals). It has to be eaten, but it definitely cuts down on costs by not having to treat water, but the actual fish. Obviously, this will have its limitation as the fish must still be eating. For the catfish it seems to work well. For really picky eaters, not so great. I think the flavor isn't fantastic, so fish like my pleco wasn't really happy.
just some of my fish. i have lots of others like artc with one eye. trying to get my hands on a wels. no luck yet
That's quite a collection of monsters! Those arowana look really white? Is it just the photo? Looks like you've got several setups going. What are you housing these giants to be in?
well im buildina a 20x8x4 pond in my shed. but at the min my arowana are in a 6x2x2 and the rest of my boys are split between 2 8x2 halfx3 deep. i have an 8f empty but thats for my wels when i get one
nobut i will start one when i sort my cam out. a lfs closed down i made an offer of £100 for all these tanks and filter systems. i got 2 lots of filter systems the same that i will use on my build. i just dont know what to do with all these other tanks haha
OMG! Great buy!!! Sand and canister filter system? They look to fairly big. I know exactly what to do with those tanks. Hook them up to your pond, plant them and use them to filter out nitrates! You've got yourself a beautiful refugium there. Then as the plants grow, you can sell off the clippings!
