Flubendazole is definitely one of the better antihelmithics (anti-parasite medication), but very "mild" on the fish being medicated.

You may want to just try feeding a slice of zucchini for a few weeks. It certainly will not hurt the fish, and it may help it. Don't be surprised if the fish don't ...

Ive tried levamisole, prazi and a metro course to no avail. I havent been feeding any fresh veggies only algae wafers and veggie bits(dry food) Do you still think I should go with the parasite clear. It has an ingredient that sounds like its in the flubendazole realm, which is good. Ive heard good ...

My ABN Keeps pooin' these 6" long whitish string like poos. Sometimes there is bits of food in it. What is the cause? How do I get rid of it?

Thanks,
Pat

Hello all. I have a problem with a Bristlenose and a Royal. They both have a 6" long string like poo trailing from them. Some of its length is clear and some of it is dark like normal poo. Here are some videos of what was seen with my microscope. Please help me identify what these critters are and ...

Heres a pic of the wood in question.

Hello, I recently bought a used tank from craigslist and it came with some wood that was being used in that previous owners tank. Its not Mopani, Malaysian or gapevine. How do I tell if it is safe for a Panaque to eat it? I have recently boiled it.

Pat

Im curious, Because Ive never seen them in the lfs here. What do longfin albino and longfin amelanistic blue eye bristlenose go for at your LFS's?

Thanks,
Pat

Ive read a few posts about the bio film concern in a BB tank. My question is... Wouldnt any tank have bio film on all of the surfaces whether it be sand, gravel, wood, or glass?

Thanks,
Pat

I was curious of everyones opinions on whether to breed and raise pleco fry in a bare bottom tank or one with substrate. Please post all opinions.

Thanks,
Pat

I think I might... to give it a more natural look.

Thanks,
Pat

I got my Chunky slate from ebay and its definately slate. Its really awesome. I cant wait to see how its gonna look under water.

Pat

Wow! Thanks for all the info guys.

Pat

If I bred an albino regular fin bristlenose with a brown long fin bristlenose would I have any longfin albino fry?

Thanks,
Pat

Yes. Please let us know how this "bull dog" does. Ive always wondered what happens.

Pat

If it ended up being shale, would that be a bad idea to use in an aquarium?

Pat

How does one tell the difference?

Pat

Thanks again everyone I found some chunks here on ebay if anyone is interested. http://cgi.ebay.com/20-PC-CHUNKY-BLACK- ... 53df2384dc

Pat

Alright! Thanks everyone.

Pat

Where would I find some chunks of slate to make a zebra habitat?

Thanks,
Pat

I thought they already were? along with a whole bunch of others too.

I thought that the "bulldog" deformity was from incorrect water parameters causing the fish to struggle to break through the egg shell. Also, would 2 unrelated F-1's fry be F-2's?

Thanks for the list. That definately helps with ethic and moral decisions. It looks like F-1s are the way to go for most of the plecos out there.

As mentioned in an earlier post by Mats, there are a whole raft of plecos that are illegal to export. Where can I find this list or, if you know, what are some of the more common ones?

Hello guys, I read in the past that the export from Brazil of the l-046 was banned. Ive been trying to find where I found that info but am having no luck. If someone is offering for sale some 2" WC Zebras would that mean that I should stay away from them since the law took effect @ 2004? What are ...

You can part with them into my tank. Very nice fish

Patrick

These plants are recommended for a cichlid tank as they are supposed to taste horribly to them. I would assume that they would have the same taste to all plant eating fish.

[Mod edit: Use persistent link --Mats]

What is the reason that we use fry traps as opposed to just leaving the baby plecos in the tank? Im guessing that it would be to prevent them from being eaten, but Ive read a few articles about people not having any problems like that and they just leave the fry in the tank. Is it so they have a ...

Nice fish is right. Nice pics too. What camera did you use?

Pat

I recently had a spawn of some albino bristlenoses and after 2 days, 4 of the babies were out of the cave and bumbling around the tank. After 2 more days they disappeared one by one. Could they have made it back into the cave, or was there some reason that they were kicked out of the cave in the ...
