Discus & Worms

[BigbruiserAl]

Just noticed 2 of discus having white poo and have gone off their bloom worm, i also remeber the LFS saying dont forget to worm them 3-4 times a year. I have had them a month so maybe this would be a good time is there a best one? can i use this?

seems cheap and simple

Seems like plan.

Its pretty good stuff, doesn't seem to even bother my catfish or loaches. Doesn't affect the biological filter or even plants. Biodegrades in 4 days apparently too. Good choice.

ta lads ordered have put the tank temp up to 29c as well

Hi all,

just out of interest, is this a specifically 'Discus' thing, or is it an idea to 'worm' all cichlids/fish a few times a year like we do dogs

cheers.

I don't own any discus. I use it for catfish and loaches and any fish thats in my tank, its good because most meds are quite bad for scaleless fish.

you can you it to worm other fish as well, works great
