Is there any home remedies for flukes on my discus' fins??

[DiscusGatotkaca]

I had discus wuth flukes, when I ask online about how to heal it, I can't seem to find the medication mentioned. There's not a wide varorty of medicine in my country, so I'm wondering if there's a home remedy for flukes

[Eddie Wells]

Can you get Antifluke Lifebearer. Works for me.

I think you can do a PP dip... I've never used PP (or any dip for that matter) so I don't know. I have used Formalin on flukes before though. I think Prazi lists flukes as something it treats... not sure though.

Well, what country, and do fill out the sticky questionaire, as it helps for a variety of reasons..Unless you are badly infested, skip the PP for now. I find Malachite Green very effective, but again, it's about what's available..Gary

Anti fluke is good but it's not being sold at too many places. Most of it is out dated now anyways.

I'm not a fan of PP dips at all.

Formalin dips are effective and would be my choice if I couldn't find ant-fluke. But I would use separate tanks, moving the fish between dips. ;)

Dose of what?

Salt how, dip or prolonged bath?

[DiscusGatotkaca]

Dose of the ammount of salt I should use and how long

Can I use some praziquantel?

[DiscusGatotkaca]

I haven't applied any meds but they stop twitching already... strange!

[judy]

you can use Praziquantal. It has worked very well for me-- even in a reef tank when a few of the fish developed worms...
