The family Whip are no longer....one by one over time..they starved and died. It wasn't until I was taking photos of the last three, that sthn notice something strange...something I have never seen before but she had. Photos.... not good news. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() They have all starved... with a belly full of hook worms.Guilty of ignorance I will post this for reference as well... not sure which thread yet. I want people to learn by my misshapes..Id hate to see other members lose fish from worms. |

I don't think so...their bellies have sunken and haven't been interested in food for awhile. How ever..I will have to treat my six foot for worms as the whips have been in there since set up. |

Hey Mars... got some info for you on Camallanus Worms.
Ok... all the above information is snippets from other peoples experiences from other forums, so it's only a base guide and not pure fact. However, I followed their advice when I noticed Camillanus Worms in some of my fish and it worked with no harm to any of the fish or the filter. Mars, I'll send you some of that Medication this week |

sorry to hear about ur losses Mars
this is a sticky i have on another site of what i do for my discus etc... as for the meds, to be honest i'm not too confident using meds cause of a bad experience i had with worming discus a fair while ago now but have treated a few things now with good results so getting some confidence back now. i think it's a good thing not to be over confident thoughthe problem i had a while ago was i wanted to treat my discus with Levamisole and this is also found in pig and poultry wormers so i went out and got some poultry wormer, the product was called "worm enda poultry worma" but what i didnt know it has glucose in it also as it's not mentioned on the bottle. to cut a long story short i treated in the morning and came home from work to all my fish at the surface and gasping for air and had already lost a cpl of discus and other fish, it was a horrible site to come home too luckily i had another tank setup so put the remanding fish in that and they were ok once in oxygenated water again. since then iv'e been put onto "Big L pig and poultry wormer" which has no other additives and works great for getting rid of nematodal parasites, camallanus and capillaria. the treatment i gave the above fish was : a 3 day course of waterlife octozin as per directions on the bottle, 1 tablet per 22.5ltrs on days 1,2,3. "no water change in between" at the end of the treatment did a 30% water change. then 30% water changes every 2 days. then a week later i did a 30% water change b4 treating with aquamaster fluke and tapeworm tablets 1 tablet per 20ltrs of water for 48hrs then did a 30% water change. then left it week later i did a 30% water change b4 treating with aquamaster fluke and tapeworm tablets 1 tablet per 20ltrs of water for 48hrs then did a 30% water change. then cleaned my filter and did a good clean of the tank. left it another week "doing 30% water changes every 2 days" then treated with Big L pig and Poutry wormer 14g/L @ 1ml per 7ltrs of water and did a 30% water change 24hrs after the dose. left it another week and did a follow up treatment of Big L same as above then cleaned filter again and thorough tank clean to get rid of any nasties. been doing water changes every 2 days since and feeding at least 3 times a day to get some food back into the fish... sorry for the long post, but hope this helps. cheers Rob... Big L pig and poultry wormer can be found here and quick service. "i couldn't find it in S.A." http://www.2easy.com.au/shop/article.php?article=722 and here's a good read on levamisole http://www.loaches.com/Members/shari2/leva...hydrochloride-1 HTH Rob... |
