Aquarium Advice Addict
If a LFS sells you critters with parasites, do you stop patronizing? Or is it just one of those things.
Saturday I brought home a handful of ramshorns and two kuhli loaches and put them in an effectively nuked tank for quarantine. I dosed the tank with Herbtana, which may or may not do anything. It's supposed to boost the immune system. Within a couple of hours, I saw tiny twirly red worms swimming in the water. I dosed with PraziPro and haven't seen them since.
There is no doubt that the worms came with either the snails or fish. Should I now consider this shop risky?
To complicate things further, I sell guppy fry (for store credit) to this shop. I don't want my fry getting parasites!
This is one of the best shops I've found. Is this a red or yellow flag?
