I have been using the pinpoint for years and I love it (actually, I have 12 of them), you just have to calibrate them once a month and to make sure that there is no algae that gets caught in if you leave it in the aquarium.
The cheapest place where I find them online is mops. :biggrin:

Bienvenue sur le forum :wink:
You might encounter problems with spawning (you said it was "difficult") because of the water; if I remember correctly, the water is rather hard in most regions in France.
If it is really the camallanus worm, levamisole is the only medication that will treat it, and Charles Harrison is the person to contact. Here is a link with the info:

Give them some live baby brine (only) for a while and you will see the result... and be careful, those guys breed like rabbits: the whole Atlanta area has been totally invaded by my F1... :eek:
I have been using Vita-Chem for about 10 years (added for each water change). As to cyclops, I use frozen cyclops and I must say that apistos are particularly crazy about them :wink:
