I just cannot get rid of this pesky nematode. I've tried treating, gravel hoovering, treating again to catch any hatched eggs etc etc. Now my last three Colombian tetras all have it and my remaining female red rainbow has it.
This disgusting, organ destroying worm is running rife in my tank for the third time and I've tried every remedy my local LFS's have recommended. NT Labs, Kusuri, esha, API, you name it I've tried it The only remaining treatment is copper sulphate (sulfate?) but I know this can be very dangerous for fish.
Has anyone else tried it? Was it successful?
I have also read that Camallanus will take every fish in my tank no matter what I try. It will just return again and again and the best thing to do is clear out the tank, throw everything away including filter media, and let it sit dry for a few months.
I cannot bring myself to euthanize my gorgeous fish without trying everything possible to help/save them. Surely there's a treatment somewhere that will eradicate this vile parasite? Fish keepers in the USA seem to have different medications that work, we don't seem to have them here in the UK.
Any help is much appreciated.
