Polypterus;1541310; said:What kills them more often than Parasites on obtaining them is keeping them wrong.. While there is one paper online that talks about all this tapeworm stuff there is little evidence to back this in every situation and in every fish. I have raised hundreds of Bowfin from various localities and can truly only attribute maybe at best 5 to 10 losses directly due to parasites.
One sample from one group of fish By one person is not the standard for the species or every locality... Please be accurate in your statements and if experience is lacking let those with experience speak rather than giving out misinformation.
Bowfin will be available very soon so please stand by, Winter is not really the time to find them as they are only minimally aquacultured.....
Ah, maybe I'm still subconsciously griping about losing my bowfin to tapeworms... I paid $30 for him.
