how to treat a fish with worms?

rhino509 · 03/28/2007, 12:23 PM

im just curious if its possible to treat a fish that i think has worms while its in the main display,i hope this isnt too dumb of a question,i just hoping there was something that wasnt very potent that i could just treat the tank(even though i know this problably isnt going to happen)

oh,and the fish suspected of having worms is a twospot goby.i have had of them for a bout 40 or so days,the one has gotten bigger with size and has a full looking stomach,the other one still looks like the day i got it.thx for reading

I'd treat the fish in a hospital tank. PraziPro might be useful, especially if you can get the fish to eat it. The fish might be willing to eat medicated food if they're hungry enough.

Otherwise, you could try getting them to eat some chopped garlic. There's some mild evidence that garlic will help with internal parasites.
