Hello everyone.
I had flukes as long as i can remeber, every treatment i tried, it failed, Anybody knows a treatment that is a 100% guarantee of success.
My Discus are in a bare tank with no other kind of fish, i follow instruction with all medications ( fluke tabs, Prazi, Formalin,) but they always come back.
Any help will be apreciated.
Mat.

Hi, Mat

sorry about your discus.
I suspect my discus also being infected by fluke. The fish's gill wide open and breath heavy, eat well but does not scratch ???. Does this match the symptom of you fish ? I do not have any experience with fluke. Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Hi guys!

One thing I can recommend is Flubenol (a.k.a. Flubendazole, Fenbendazole).
It worked fine for me, you can find loads of info about the possible treatment schemes on the net.
I do not want to stress any of them in particular, pick your choice!

Flubendazole does not = Fenbendazol ::)

Flubendazole definetly does not = Fenbendazole. They are related chemically, but Fenbendazole is much more potent worm killer , and .....

....

FENBENDAZOLE SHOULD NEVER BE ADDED TO THE WATER.... ONLY GIVE INTERNALLY IN FOOD OR BY TUBE,
