I dosed the Prazipro yesterday and lost 5 more. It may be too late for them but I'll try. Who knows how long they've been affected....the store refunded me all the money for all the fish. We will see how many I can save! The store I got them from thinks they're leeches....still researching what...
I had callamanus worms in another tank and beat them with the fenbenzadole. These are a whole different ball game! So much worse- much larger- and are appearing throughout the muscle tissue in the fish :-/

I didn't even think a parasitic flat worm even existed!? I have had three more deaths today. Did a large water change and dosed Prazi Pro. I am looking into the contradictions (I think it's safe though) to also use fenbenzadole. That drug kills callamanus worms like a pro- maybe these too...

Here's the skinny one and the fat one with the red spot together. I thought the spot was something to be concerned about. I still don't know what it is, but a friend has loaches and they all have it so idk. But the other is super super skinny!

Thanks everyone! I think when they're all together it will be better....curious while I have you all here with loaches- has anyone every had a really really skinny loach? The one in qt is. Like really skinny.
By the time the new roselines are out of qt I will add these 4 to the 8 I have and...
I have 4 clowns and one yo yo loach....and 2 more yo yo and 2 clowns in qt....hopefully more will help. They're new so they might just be nervous still. I see one brave clown from time to time but that's it
