Thanks Tony, actually two batches across three tanks.

I am having a setback with my contest fish which was the same setback I had with Batch A. They are a bit dark with lack of eating vigor. With Batch A it was suspected to be an external and after a consult with jimg I will be running these guys through a 21 day course of praziquantel.

I also added a piece of wood to help ground these guys to the right side of the tank.

Hi Pat can you remember my comments regarding your Batch A fry and 'protozoan' infections being 'more common' in the Spring and Fall?

I do Paul. It is almost fall here.

I begin the treatment after the WC last night and these guys look somewhat better this morning with a better feeding response.

[Second Hand Pat]

Well, I decided I needed a better response from these guys so I dis-continued the praziquantel treatment for a day, gave the fry a rest and PPed (2 ppm at 4 hours) them yesterday. After the PP treatment three were still a bit dark but one is most likely a cull It is wondering aimlessly with fins at half mast.

This morning all were normal color except the one cull. I will cull it tonight unless it's status changes. Also a lot better feeding response this morning then before.

Good luck Pat! I hope they are back on schedule now!

Sorry to hear Pat, glad that they seem to be on the mend though. Keep us updated!
