Just incase, if she still has a white spot on her tail fin after the 6th day of treatment (which is the last day) do I start another treatment of protozin? How does that work, what do I do? Thank you

Thanks Wilder I'm glad that I have a sign, am I treating her with the right treatment, and the temp thing?

Hi As far as I'm aware peas are good for treating constipation, not internal parasites. What makes you think you're fish have internal parasites? Can you give us more information re: water parameters? How long your tank has been going etc Symptoms of fish etc It's a good idea to know this...

Evening Please could someone confirm if my fish has white spot. About 4-5days ago my platy was flicking but showed no visible signs of any description (which has happened before - no symptoms) Because she's done this before with no visible signs I treated with Protozin and this seemed to work...

It was definately tiny,but not sure if it was a baby or whether it just blew in from somewhere and has now gone. I hope so.

I don't have any fresh plants in my tank. I've been told it could be an Argulus?? Does anyone know about them, or shed any light on the scene?? I haven't seen it since the other day. I'm not sure if this could happen in a tropical tank, could it have come from the frozen bloodworm I feed...

I was looking at my tank tonight and saw what looked like a spot with legs crawl across one of the gravel stones, it was only 1mm. :unsure: I thought it was something in my eye, but it's now disappeared and I can't find it. There doesn't seem to be anymore but they maybe lying in the gravel...

Hi Thanks for the replies. I know I'm new to this, but I have had a few fish die unexpectedly, with no symptoms showing no signs whatsoever. The water stats have been fine. When I have come on here for help, given the outline as to what has happened I have been told that it's probably...

Thanks Black Angel I've been out and bought some Sterazin today, do you know if this is ok with my filter?? I have read the instruction but it says on the bottle that waterlife product IS harmful to bacteria and then it says on the bottle that it ISN'T harmful to nutifying and denutrifing...

I'm a newbie and need to treat a fish of mine with an internal parasite med? There are so many different types I was wondering if someone could recommend one that I could get at my LFS :drool: Thanks

Hi guys back again!!! I've checked on my female platy today and noticed that she's flicking quite badly. I can't see any external problems (white spot) but I have noticed that her top fin (dorsal?) has a split in it. Would this cause her to flick??? Her anus is fine, and poo is fine, she's...

Back to the good ole LFS for more meds, I'm guna have to have a medicine cupboard specifically for them!! Thanks again wilder.....

Should I treat with a med then or leave the tank alone, she seems fine apart from hiding in her cave but I'm not sure if that's because she alone. Her poo is fine, but should I be on the safe side and treat anyway or leave alone??

I've never seen my harlequins poo or even my neons for that matter!! My platy that is left is pooing quite nicely I saw her last night when I fed her and she seemed ok and was pooing at the time, so I can definately say she fine in that department. The male that died his poo was like silk, so...

Your right Wilder I have lost a lot of fish, which is the sad part. None of them have shown any signs of illness until it's too late. :unsure: If they had ich or something I could see I would be ok but these internal things I find really hard to diagnose until it's too late. Is there a way...
