    how to deworm wild caught discus

    Testing for ammonium twice a day is absolutely excessive. If the aquarium is running, it makes sense to test once a week at most. If a decent filter is installed, which is not cleaned every two or three weeks, there is no danger of nitrite, as long as there is not too much feeding. It is...

    how to deworm wild caught discus

    It is absolute nonsense to fatten up(!) discus fish exclusively with a food that contains 66% protein, such as dried bloodworms. Discus fish are not fundamentally carnivorous, but omnivorous. In the wild they feed on algae growth, peryphyton, detritus, fruits and small invertebrates. You don't...

    taeniacara candidi sick ? Pale/white scales

    Just to let you know... we have already imported many times Otocinclus hoppei, mimulus, mariae and Otothyropsis piribebuy etc. several times. There were about 500 catfish in one box, depending on the order. O. affinis cannot be obtained, as there are no commercial exports from where these fish...

    taeniacara candidi sick ? Pale/white scales

    Easily to be treated with a drug, based on malachite green oxalate and formaline.

    taeniacara candidi sick ? Pale/white scales

    The problem was too, that antibiotics were used in a completely unreflective manner and also polluted the sewage treatment plants, with the result that resistance developed precisely there.

    Ichthyo Treatment

    Whether it is Glossatella or Epistylis, in both cases they are bell-shaped animals that colonize injured skin areas on the fish and anchor themselves in the skin while sitting on a stalk. It does not matter whether we are dealing with a classical parasite or not. Their treatment is analogous to...

    Ichthyo Treatment

    Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, often described in the literature simply as Ich or Ichthy, is a well-known parasitic ciliate within aquaristics. It can be described as an obligate parasite, as it is almost always present, but is not a problem for normal healthy fish, as their immune defense...

    Unsure on Behaviour - Aggression or Courting?

    It looks nice, but it is anything but heavily planted. Rather sparsely planted with clearly too little cover. Imho, it's more of a scaping design and a past-the-fish kind of thing.

    What to do now?

    So far so good on the subject of Epipremnum aureum reducing nitrate towards zero. *hehe*

    Internal parasites treatment

    You can assume that, if at all, only remnants are sold. Then you should get a small stock there. Flagellol would be the best way to combat protozoan. Levamisole is the better alternative to Praziquantel only if the fish do not eat anymore, because Levamisole is absorbed through the gills.

    Sickly P. subocellatus

    I would try a combination of salt in conjunction with methylene blue or malachite green oxalate. To me, this looks very much like a bacterial infection. The mucosa here looks like it is severely affected. In order for possible mucosal lesions to close, the salt would have to be used. I would...
