Shrimp and Contraspot Seems to be ok as confirmed by Tetra. (need to scrol down to post titled "2006-03-10 Tetra Contraspot and shrimps"

product description here as its by Tetra which I have always considered a good brand?

Does it look ok, please?

 

[WILDER]

Yes that look fine says it treats flukes.
Where did you find that med, never heard of it.

 

[Kipper_Face]

google search under king british bought up a retailer that i would never order from but they had this listed under meds.

Found a supply online for a reasonable £7.98 for 2 lots of 100ml including p&p.

 

[WILDER]

Good, should take 2 days to arrive if you have a good postal service.

 

[Kipper_Face]

Found this while searching too, good guide medicine for fish!

 

[WILDER]

Thanks, another one for my favourite lists, its getting very long.

 

[Kipper_Face]

One other question Wilder, why do you think the guppy fry are healthy if there are parasites around?

 

[WILDER]

Sorry, thought you said they were flicking as well, must of read it wrong.
How old are the fry how long have they been in the tank.

 

[Kipper_Face]

Sorry to confuse, they are flicking but no deaths as far as i am aware. They are about 3 to 4 weeks old and feeding well.

 

[WILDER]

They don't sound infested so that a good sign, its only when a fish get stressed and ill that they really kick off, they can leave with a few parasites.
Like cat and dogs with fleas.

Just to add you cant use methylene blue with live plants

Mrs Guppy passed away in the early hours of this morning.

I have received my medication today through the post to ensure others dont go the same way
