Is there any way to find a pic of this particular parasite? I have google image searched and I couldn't find anything particularly useful. To be honest, I have never spotted anything in the cysts that actually looked like a parasite. I had a fish die of a cyst not long ago and then a couple of...

Hi all. I had a cyst appear on the side of one of my CPDs (Celestial Pearl Danio). I thought maybe it was from scrapping with another fish so didn't do anything. Anyway, that popped and another two have appeared now, so I need to sort something out. I have done a 30% water change and turned on...

No problem, better late than never :)   I still have some weird fish behaviour so I am going to treat with prazipro and see what happens.

Yeah I guess I didn't have planaria first time around. Two fish spat this thing out anyway - it's good to know it's probably nothing serious. Just a massive coincidence that it coincided with a fish dying that had a cyst that could have been something trying to get out (but probably wasn't).  ...

Thanks for the replies. I have had planaria in the past, just after I cycled the tank. When I added fish they ate those in no time. This thing is a lot bigger than the planaria I had before, though I'm sure there are different sizes. I would say it doesn't noticeably have a diamond shaped head...

Hi there.   I noticed I had a dead fish today (which was mostly eaten by my shrimp by the time I got it out). Anyway, at the same time I happened to notice a worm in the tank and sucked it out with a turkey baster. It may well have been what killed the fish, which had a cyst that could have been...

Cool, thanks for the info. I've been doing a 10% per day for the last couple of days since it happened. I've also had my UV on for most of today, which I hadn't done for a while. Today it certainly looks no worse than yesterday and possibly a bit better.

Sure, I have ph around 7.8, TDS is around 215, GH 7, KH4, temp 24c (though it's been up to 25.8c in the last couple of days cos it's been hot).   The tank's not as well maintained as it could be but it's not dreadful. I have just bought an RO unit to drop my ph over the next month or two. I...

Hi everyone.   I have had a lump develop on the side of one of my spotted blue eye females. Any ideas and suggestions on what it might be would be much appreciated. Thanks.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYIT-1WSg-E&feature=youtu.be  

OK so I did an autopsy. I  dunno how long it takes for fish insides to go off but they were in much worse condition than the other fish. The other one I did within about 30 mins of death. This one could have been anything from 2 to 6 hours.   SQUEAMISH ALERT - fish innards ahead;   First one is...

Hi everyone. Thanks for the suggestions. The fish was doing better yesterday, less well this morning, then I fed her some bloodworm (frozen) and she seemed a lot, lot better after that. I then dosed some more KB Tonic, as it says to do on the bottle after 48 hours and added an airstone just in...

Last night, so before i had any replies, I used King British General Tonic (Magnesium Sulphate 33% and Sodium Chloride 11%), which is meant to help "perceived" swim bladder issues & constipation. In terms of bacterial treatment I have melafix but I don't think I can add that now I've treated...

Hi everyone.   What's going on with this fish, do we reckon? I pulled her out the main tank just now, after seeing her drifting around not being able to swim properly. I lost another fish a couple of days ago who had gone extremely thin and basically wasted away. This fish is bloated - these are...

Unfortunately not. Just lost one in a hospital tank that I set up today. He was well on the way by the time I got him into the hospital tank so it was too late.   The worm meds didn't seem to stop the stringy poo. I think this guy who died (the alpha male forktail rainbowfish), had explosive...
