Hey guys
I'm relatively new to the discus world.
I had been keeping Malawi's for a few years until I went overseas last year and my tanks weren't properly maintained as per my instructions...
I know that worming is not 100% necessary unless you suspect an infestation (a hotly debated topic) but I could do with some advice.
I have added a couple of new fish that I got for xmas to my tank (I never quarantined them... story for another time)
They were added about a week ago. I am not 100% sure that any of my fish have worms (they shouldn't have, the place I bought them from is a discus specialist who quarantine all their fish and worm them regularly) I am just monitoring for now but the issue is that I have cherry shrimp in my tank that live among the plants, the worming product I currently have (cant remember the name, at work at the moment) advises not to use it in a tank with snails, shrimp, etc.
Is there a product that can be used without harming my shrimp?
My Tank:
Aquaone Grande 120 (~245L @ 2000L/h)
10 Juvenile Discus (2-5 inches)
9 Neon Tetras
9 Ember Tetras
9 Rummy Nose Tetras
5 Peppered Corys
5 Cherry Shrimp
