Yes i've seen pics of anchorworm and I study the tank every night and haven't seen any in my tank at all (which hindered my diagnosis). Bought my meds today and going to do a water change now and administer them. I will let you know what happens.

Searched lernea images and found this, it is identical.Just searched for treatments and they seem quite straight forward, treat Parazin first, then after a while Myxazin to treat any wounds left behind after getting my tank cleaned up of course. Thanks for the help!

Thankyou, I WILL get to the bottom of this!!

Did consider this but they have only appeared on the extremities, lips or tips of fins which makes me doubt an internal parasite and you can watch them grow until they come away, tried to get some pictures for you but all fish are clear at the moment. I keep tetras (cardinal,congo,rummy,black...

Hello, I have looked through the emergencies and diseases page and cannot find a similar problem, I know that I have caused this problem as I have had a baby and neglected my water changes. I am taking that all in hand now to lower my nitrates and get things back on track. Now down to the...

Hi, I am not usually a reader of the coldwater section as I mainly have tropical fish. However whilst searching round some lfs I came across some magnificant coldwater plecs and just had to come on here and tell you all about them and ask if anyone had some proper info on them. Thanks.

My German Shepherd used to struggle with her weight as a young dog. She is fed on Wagg complete (chicken and rice flavour) But she likes a little warm water in hers as does her daughter. Garlic tablets can aid digestion and rather than tinned meat I prefer Naturediet. It is totally holistic so a...

I live in the nort west of England (Blackpool for any locals) and the warm spring weather has been causing trouble for me. I have to keep turning my heaters off to keep temps down. Even though they are running on the lowest setting they are still getting up to 28 and although my fish will manage...

I believe it does not hurt them as very young pups ,certainly not as much as putting an adult dog to sleep to amputate a tail later on in life when the dog will miss it and know what has happened . Any animal that is born undeveloped blind, deaf etc have undeveloped nevous systems too.
