Fish Fanatic
Hi there
I posted awhile back with a novel, freaking out about my fish being bloated lol. Well I now see a very disturbing problem: My young female molly has red string-like threads hanging from her anus. They move when she does. After some google research iv come to the conclusion that it is callamanus worms. I ran out and bought Jungle Parasite Clear, I put a tab into my 10 Gallon tank at about 7pm. Is this medication good enough to clear the problem? I live in Canada...and it's really hard to get any good meds around here without ordering them and paying way too much money. I tried getting Gel-Tek Ultra Cure PX but the one place I can order it from/buy it from their store has been out of stock for months.
So what I would like to know is, is the Jungle Parasite Clear good enough?
If so, how many doses do you reccomend and for how long?
I heard its very contagious, do I sanatize my whole tank? I just moved 2 days ago so a 100% water change has been done.
EDIT: Iv been reading that Panacur (Dog de-wormer) can be used to very effectivly kill these worms? It was noted to dissolve 3 grams of the powder into about 100 ml of water with blood worms in it. Let the food soak up the meds, then feed. Should I order some or wait to see if this Parasite Clear does the trick?
Thank you!
