Fish Still Dying

[WILDER]

You cannott see flukes with the naked eye.
You have to look behind the gill plate with a magifying glass to see them.

so theres no point in adding salt to the tank?

 

[WILDER]

I wouldn't add much as neon tetra's don't handle it to well.
So both the clown loaches have died.
I would only add two tablespoons to your tank, stir in a jug in tank water till the salt has desolved.
Have you seen any signs of flicking and rubbing, as it would account for all the death as flukes are nasty.

 

[kidjatt]

i havent noticed any rubbing to be honest. I should add anymore fish should i at the moment

 

[WILDER]

Nope lost to many got something nasty going off in your tank.
I wouldn't add anymore fish for at least six weeks, then only if the fish are survivng with no deseases.
I would get that flubenol med you can use it with the bacterial med as well.

omg i just read that parasites can come from frozen blood worms, i put frozen bloodworm in the tank on saturday, when the fish started dying

Don't think tropical fish parasites would survive freezing, with the feeding of the bloodworms and your fish dying it is probably just coincidence and that it is something else effecting your fish.

 

[kidjatt]

has anybody used flubenol before

 

[WILDER]

Yes I have just finished a 4 weeks course.
It won't harm the fish its a good med.
