Thank you Jenene! At least I have someone to vouch for me not being one of those folks who does monthly WCs and wonders why their fish are always sick! I set out to do this thing right!
Willie,
Good to know - Metro did work for me, but not until I actually went up to the 500mg per 10 gal. I was basically doubling the dose on the package before that and it still didn't touch it. I think 500mg is an excellent suggestion now having seen it work, and less of a dose fail to work on all of the Discus (4 of 5 did get better on 300mg/10 gal). The metro I got from 'Everything Aquatic', which says it is pure, also stated that for 'stubborn' cases you can dose up to 1tsp per 20 gal, which would be 1,550mg/10 gal! So apparently its pretty safe stuff.
On the Prazi - Kenny took a gander at my picture and vid of the gill and thinks its not anything to do with flukes, but just a flared gill that he likely always had or was just inflamed from irritation (maybe the meds, unsure..) I will keep an eye on it but since I am already half through my dose of prazi I will just finish it off. If I dont notice any difference in a week or so I will probably not do a follow up dose since it likely was not doing anything. Who knows tho, maybe they have a worm that I am treating without knowing it - luckily Prazi is also safe.
How does that happen with your fry? ***! I mean, where do they even come from? Are they getting it from the parents/tank and it just hits them harder because they are so small?
