Bizarre One - Discussion Only No Fix Reqd

Sterazin is the best thing for gill flukes, I would have suggested Myxazin as well as I had a very similar disease sweep though my tank unfortunately - Have to admit I have never heard of eye flukes... its more likely just cloudy eye which is a bacterial disease caused by stress which can come either as water quality or a result of a bad disease/ parasite infest.

Just as a side note (not 100% sure how it will be greeted but...) even though that tank is quite large by some standards I dont think it will last the Sharks their full life - especially when they are a big group up at the 10-12 inch mark swarming around it like crazy. The saving grace with these monsters is that they are very very common so these in your friends tank will have a much better life than a very large percentage of those in the hobby in the world. I have a similar sized tank and it is hard not to put big big fish in it but you sometimes just have to limit the max size a little less than you would think that it would perhaps be okay.

Great to know for future. I had 2 Silver sharks and they both ended up verticle in the water and gasping. Couple of other fish started with white spot so started treatment and withing the day the sharks had died. hated getting rid of them, great fish !
