Worms ?

[Finrac]

Hi
I have bought 8 discus a few months ago and have wormed them with wormer plus as it was advised to me to worm them.
They all seem happy and healthy, are eating well but I have noticed some of the discus expelling what looks like 4-5 worms in one go. I wormed them 2wks ago. Would they still be expelling dead worms 2 wks later?

Yes, did you retreat or only the one treatment? Prazi only paralyzes the worms so they can be expelled, sometimes it takes a while. I would retreat and add MgSO4 to the water at 2 tsp. per 10g for a week or so after you are done treating.

I treated again after 4 days

I would add the epsom salts to the water to help them expel the dead worms. Retreating is a judgement call, prazi is well tolerated by fish though.

I'll do that now, thanks.
