Heavy breathing

Post by jac »

Hi,

I've got some adult C. Adolfoi witch I have for 2 weeks now. I'm a bit concerned about there breathing. Overall they seem fine but some of them have very heavy breathing.
Does someone know what this could be? Is it a worm problem?

Thanks, Jacqueline

They may have some gill flukes. It wouldn't be that unusual. Hikari PraziPro seems to work well and it seems to be very gentle compared to older preparations.

Thanks apistomaster!
I think I'll give them a worm treatment.
