Thank you for your time and efforts, but "big Harry" didn't make it through last night. I still have no idea what was wrong with him. It would be nice to know though! Thanks again, Nikki.

The fish does not seem to be eating, just sits miserably at the bottom of the tank, When I last treated it it was not eating either, but soon started. I think I will try "force feeding" it some medicated food, if that doesn't work, I would opt to put it to sleep. My heart breaks for it every...

I spent my Sunday off googling until my phone went flat. Because of what's happening with its vent I think it's some kind of internal upset. I am going to get hold of a syringe tonight to try to "force feed" him some Food laced with metro. I'm not sure what, that I will think about when it...

Thank you for your reply! Would a lack of vitamins cause this to happen so suddenly? Like over night? I am doubtful about the electric shock. I don't know that much but I got the impression it might be curved due to the bloating inside it on the one side, is this possible?

I did do a couple others now I recall. Nitrite 0 ammonia 0. No they are only sticking out where the fish is Bent too far for them to bend with it

G'day.   I need a bit of help! I do apologise - this is not a tropical fish, it is a giant goldfish, I have taken it on board to try to get it back to better health.   So. This goldfsh came out of my brothers 1000L Aquaponics setup. it is around 30cm long. It was in with about 20 other goldfish...

Hello, I have treated with tetra parasite guard, I have treated twice as I didnt notice much improvement. I lost my second electric yellow this morning, and my blue ram look slike it has indentations on its head.

It instructs to clean "filter media" So sponges Jack Dempsey had clear poop and I fed him bloodworm and a couple hours after he had normal poop. After that I didnt see any at all. One of the bristlenoses I could see had half half, so like bits of normal poo with empty gaps.. This is not...

Are there further actions I should take to fully remove Thr wormer? A 25% water change and filter clean was all the packet said was needed? And should I still use the bird wormer? Or would the fluke tablets have covered that?

All of The fish ate The blood worm I have them Last night. I know the tank is over stocked, I do 30% water changes/vacuum once a week. This was two days ago Ph 7.9 Gh 4dkh (71.6) Kh 8dkh (143.2) Nitrate 0-5.0 mg/l Nitrite 0 My nitrates were very high about a month ago so I did consistent...

I was told that the flukes/tapeworm treatment would treat for Callamanus worms!! Dang it, I will get hold of this treatment ASAP. I do feed them red food, but the fish had already done white poo, and I did not feed them the night before the red/clear stuff

Hi again, so I am going to do a 25% water change tonight and clean the fiter media, as that is what the medication (flukes/tapeworm tabs) said to do, when will it be safe to begin treating with something else in case this hasn't worked? The greater majority of my fish are becoming infected...

Thanks heaps, I will post back within the week to update, thanks again :)

So I found that I actually have fluke/tapeworm tablets and I have dosed both tanks that I think have the problem. If this fails what would I try next? Levamisole Hydrochloride? (this was suggested by snazy) Are there any other all-round wormers or products to treat internal parasites that...

Thank you all for your responses. Callamanus worms are meant to be visible aren't they, I read somewhere that in the early stages they won't be visible? Since I have seen no signs of them. I feed some tetra one food, it's red. That, brine shrimp and blood worms. I will have to ask my Lfs...
