Hi, Here's updates of our Elly-molly. He's better. It looks that he's combatted the worms. His poop is normal, he chases the girls and looks generally more happy. However, he still keeps sitting close to the bottom and wobbles a bit. He didn't do this before the worms. We were wondering if it's...

Thank you Zagz. I received a reply from the manufacturer of the Sterazin anti parasite treatment. The active ingredient is Piperazine. I read some things in the internet about it and hopefully it will be good enough to treat the parasites. I think the fish looks better: swimming more, chasing...

Thank you Zagz. You've been a great help here. We've put Waterlife's Sterazin treatment (for gill and body flukes and internal worms). It's pretty much the only one we could find for any internal worms. I don't know if there are other internal parasites, but worms, but if there are, it does not...

Thank you very much Zagz!!! He's eating normally. Unfortunately they do not sell the medicated food for parasites in the UK so we cannot use this option, but it would be a good one. With the last fish we used Mardel's Maracyn-Two as we thought it was internal bacteria. We also have Interpet's...

The molly is now trying not to use his tail even more. The last fish that died in the tank had a similar thing, but he also got really thin. We gave him internal bacteria treatment, but he passed away. I'm thinking of trying internal parasite treatment this time. The treatment we have is...

Thank you for your reply Zagz, He's not looking bloated and I cannot see him tilting to the side. It's just wobbling. I've seen him take a very thin little poop and also a thicker brown one. It doesn't seem like swim bladder to me. He can control the height he's in the water, swimming up or...

Hi, We have a male silver molly who's started swimming a bit funnily recently. He seems to use more of his body to move forwards, but he still uses his tail as well. We cannot see anything else wrong with him. Here are our tank details: Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 5 PH 7.8 Temperature 25.5C...

Hi, Regarding the lump above in the discussion: our cory still has it on the fin, but it's about 1/3 the size it is in the photos above. The problem is that it seems to have got stuck in that size and is not going away completely and the more worrying thing is that now she has a second one on...

Hi, I know what you're going through with your fish. It's awful. I'm not familiar with Pimafix, but if it says it's a medication for internal bacteria, I would think it should work. I got this answer on another forum saying that with livebearers (I'm not familiar with yellow lab) these kind of...

I'm sorry to hear you're fishy is going through the same. I hope you'll be able to help your fish. At least you've seen here the advise we received. Hope it'll help.

Thank you very much for your nice words.

Thank you Zagz for all your help. It was very much appreciated. I'll keep your advice in case we get something similar in the future. Unfortunately we were not able to save our dear fish. He will stay in our hearts.

Our fish is even worse. He's just laying on his side on the bottom of the tank and didn't even come for dinner. Could someone please advise what we should do. Should we change for internal parasites medication as maracyn 2 has not helped? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you for your reply Zagz. We are still giving the Maracyn II. Tomorrow is the last day of the 5 day course. So we've given the medication for 3 days + today, but he doesn't seem too well still. Should this medication be the best for bacterial infection? Or should we try the internal...

Hi, Just an update of the situation. Today the molly is mostly sitting on the bottom of the tank and it looks like breathing is difficult for him. He breathes slower than the other fish and then suddenly he (I think consciously) breathes faster for a short moment and then again slower. I don't...
