you need to treat the pond as you remove them off the fish, but when u return them to the pond that will have more that was left in the pond.

I have no idea what treatments u have in Mexico, but look for formalin based or copper base treatments.

Hi well I have being puring some aquarisol and salt, today I got some acriflaine and put one drop for liter.
I have been looking for the worms on my fish and I think I got all of them off, there is only some fish with red spots I hope that goes away.
is there someting else I can do ?
I still have to get rid of the worm in the pond. or since the fish are in a tank and not in the pond the worm will died of starvation?? any ideas
can I clean the pond with some chlorine and then fill it up and let the chlorine evaporate. is that a good option ?

What type of fish are in the tank, and how many.
How many gallons is the tank.
aquarisol mainly for whitespot, velvet, and fungus.
What does the other med treat.

Not sure in your country but you can buy anchor worm meds for ponds.
Once you have got ridden of the anchor worm you have to back up with a bacterial med.

Did you get the aquarisol med out before you added the other med to the tank.

they are 6 goldfish and 6 sword tail in a 5 gal tank
the person from the aquarium toll me to put 30ml of ACRIFLAVINE to kill the one from the pond I just wanted to check with you people if that is good
Acriflavine is useful for fish egg disinfection, treatment of open wounds, and external protozoan infections. http/badmanstropicalfish.com/meds/medication19a2.html
the aquarisol medication containigs soluble copper salts and in the aquarium they toldme that was good to
a put the aquarisol in the morning and the ACRIFLAVINE like at 4pm

I would move the fish back to the pond as they won't survive in that tank it's to small.
Can you buy a med for the pond and treat that.

Does the med wipe benefical bacteria out in the filter.

I think tokis had given you some good advice.
Move the fish back to the pond but check temp and climatise them again if there a big difference.
Also check ph.

Get a med for the pond that kills anchor worm.
They won't survive in the tank.
Good Luck.
