Fish worming ?

aquaman05 · 10/17/2009, 05:38 PM

I was at the LFS the other day and he said they give their new fish a wormer of some kind. He also said i should give my fish some kind of wormer once a month.

Any thought on this ?

Thanks

I think if you want to treat a fish for parasites it is best to do it in a QT. I would not add a fish "wormer" to my DT.

Prazipro will take care of internal parasites, but I don't see why you would treat once a month.
If you have a lot of traffic, and know what your doing. Like hopefully a lfs

. You can treat fish for worms with the same stuff you use to treat dogs.
