Senegals - WC vs CB!

Well thats a bummer. Good thing it's easily fixed. Good luck brother

You'll be ok. Bichir worms is fairly simple to get rid of. Any meds containing praziquantel and Metonidazole is sufficient. Even at 50% dose I believe. Perhaps, others here can chime in in dose amount. Cost of parasite guard is the price of a pack of cigarettes ($4-5 usd). Also, salt and high temp is not gonna help. Just add additional aeration when putting in meds.

That's good to hear. Treat with parasite gaurd at 3/4 dose. Should be good after that.

Awesome. My dad says he'll try and get some for me in the week. So thoughtful of him!

and the pale blotches on their bodies, should I worry about that?

Just keep an eye out.

If you plan on getting more polys. Ask ur dad to get a little more of the medication in case you decide to get more wild caught polypterus.

That's likely damage from the worms. Quite frankly, I'd get the meds and treat asap. 3/4 dose sounds about right. The one time I saw a few of these worms. I dosed half. It went away in a day or 2 for me.

Waiting on local shop owner to reply, will call tomorrow when they're open. I hope it works

No plans right now. Tank's quite full, kinda wishing I got 2 WC polys now

Lucky we noticed it right away, when i saw it i was like" what is that? Its not a slime coat" but that the only picture i saw it. Get it treated right away, and sorry this happened.

Polyaddict86 your eyes are second to none.

Hendre in the future treat all new fish in qt with the PG. Two weeks qt without meds really isnt long enough time for issues to pop up
