I'm thinking it's stupid for me not to. I did do a post on a Black arrow a year ago it had gill flukes so big loss good information
I know at least a couple of my fish i'd try surgery to preserve
I know you can send stuff off to university etc and many times they will post a fish for minimal cost but the shipping is an issue
of course much of the info is in books but i'd like input from people with R/L hands on experience (bad experience extrapolating without consulting)
just see a lot of threads i think it has this disease because the poop looks like this
not critcising,we do what we can. just wondering if there is a better way
to treat more specifically but still be cost effective
next question
prazicest has been good in terms of treating such things as tapes and flukes
SAFE product for nematodes?
Thanks
 
need hands on info from someone who looks at fecals on their imports and treats according to what they find
also best SAFE dewormer for nematodes i don't like fenbendazole
I can read the books i can dissect a big fish blah blah
also cases of disease,with the big exensive stuff i know can treat with injectable sometimes,
just want to hear hands on stories
seems like lots of what we do is empirical,(shotgunning based on experience)
but the force feeding for instance, that works
bayteil injection has been used in rays, (good luck with that) spining would not be fun
 
Try to ask your question in a more "understandable" way and you will yield better results....
 
Rallysman and I were going to do a necropsy on his black aro, but we didn't get time. I have the equipment to do it, but haven't yet.
