Hello All,
I need some help please. My 6x2x2 ft planted apisto tank has had a foreign invader of some sort. Within 2 weeks I have lost my pairs of apisto Macmasteri, Eartheater, blackchin and cac. Totally desimated. Now I am trying to save my 2pairs of bolivians and 30neons and lemon tetras. I have added no new fish since 5 months. The symptoms are fish become lethargic , ly on the floor of the tank, fins held in and no colour. I see no outside spots like ich etc and no other visual signs. I am at a loss of how this unknown disease entered the tank, my only thought would be through live brine shrimp that I buy from my LFS. I have had fish since 1980 and cannot remember having this before. I do 30% water change every week and water perameters are perfect for the apistos.
Anyway as sad as this is, I have to look forward and get rid of this and treat the tank.
My Apisto fish store, gave me CCD Levamisole and asked me to dilute 1gram per 100litres to try and cure this worm, parasite etc. My other fish storegave me Wardleys Promethyasul.
Has anybody used this in their tank at all or any ideas ?
Thanks and lets hope I can cure this
cheers jk :frown:
