Probable Gill Flukes

[zoekin8yg]

Is the external parasite med by interpret any good? I have a little female betta that arrived this week, she seems fine when she arrived but seems to have what I think is probably a gill fluke, its def a parasite on her gill. I have treated using that med and wondered if it will work?

You need this med for flukes.

There anit curustaceon med by interpet but its powerful and wipes the bacteria colony out in your filter.

Theres no filter its a quarentine for a betta so i do water changes. its actually probably gill maggots rather than flukes.

ok that interpet med then, but it will wipe the bacteria colony out in your filter.
