Flukes?

[robert9]

It looks like I have 2 platys with what seem to be gill flukes except they are not on gills they are on the body.
There are only a couple on each fish - how can I get rid of these quickly as I have breeding fish in the tank.
What is safe??

Just seen other flukes question - further down
Nitrate/Nitrite both at nil, both fish seem happy enough and are feeding well.
Both have no redness and are bright colours and bright eyed.
100 L tank internal filter, been running over a year, 12L water changed once a week - de-chlorinated and at tank temp. (26C).

Fish are also not rubbing against anything.

I think those are the little buggers I have had trouble with on my betta. They are really tiny and wave around in the water? If so then i used sterazin to get rid of them and so far the female is free of them but its likely they will return as im doing a second round of it this month.

I've only got 1 on 1 fish which is long enough to wave about, the others look very tiny
What is Sterazin?

What is Sterazin?

Fluke medication. Either that or try Fluke Tab.
