Discus past this..

[flukes]

The new discus i got, pasted a white long worm. It isn't soft and mucus so i ruled out hex.

Once it past i couldnt find it, then i found it floating near the top of the water. I took it out, its hard stiff and white. It has little dark rings along it.

I think it could be tape worm but it doenst look long enough.

Anyone have any thoughts?

cheers

its bad to say but,

thats it, dinner is off


I took it out, its hard stiff and white. It has little dark rings along it.


and that is almost pornographic, please keep it PG



as for the real question i am stumped

maybe something they ate, didn't agree with them

are they still healthy? swimming freely etc etc

[flukes]

Yeah might do a treatment of prazi and see how i go, ive been meaning to treat all the fish in the tank anyway.

If nothing is pasted then i wont worry unless they turn ill.

You have to photograph that stuff Flukes ! I get off on that stuff ! Worms are kewl, like that tape worm pic a few months back.

omg, this reminds me the mrs took the cat to the vet and vet prescribes metro , 3 tabs for $18, and prazi , 2 tabs for 5 bucks .... I have like a whole pharmacy of this under my tank =(

Ouch... $20 roughly got me 21 x 400mg Metro tabs

from a kind hearted vet :wink:

(he keeps fish)

[Mattzilla]

wow that is cheap ro....how much does each tab treat? water that is...

[Proteus]

oops, was meant to be $20 not $2...

for my 70g tank i calculated it at 3 tabs, then 2 tabs on the 3rd & 6th day...

My discus had problems with tape worm and/or internal parasites. I used Internal Parasite Guard from <www.junglelabs.com> with great results. Later, Ray
