great advice, Shane!
knew I read it somewhere, perhaps in a post about collecting fish.
any idea how strong the commercial solution is?
this stuff isn't easy to get here, so I might end up with getting it through chemistry at school and then I have to make that solution myself.
I only plan to use it on fish from disputable sources, rough tanks or by-catch wildcaught imports; but unfortunately when getting rare cats or c!chlids I'm often depending on those.
Recently I had to treat 2 Lophiobagrus cyclurus that came from a tank with a massive gillfluke infection.
despite the Lophio's being healthy (2 Haplotaxodons died from the parasites in that tank), I'm not risking -for example- my granulosus and so forth.
unfortunately the treatment I currently use lasts at least 10 days
you have to dose, wait 5-10 days and dose again.
the medication is good, but sometimes 2 fish occupating 2 quarantaine tanks* can be quite a problem if other fish are arriving as well from a WC import......
*nasty toxic territorial buggers like L cyclurus adults can and do go mideaval on each other in a quarantaine tank!
their toxins (wich they can shed when stressed, for example when getting medics!) prevent the adding of other fish for a wormtreatment as well....
