Update well I went and purchased Parasite Clear and have used it 3 times now. I had to remove the ghost shrimp. Man were they ever hard to catch! One was totally uncatchable but a few hours after the first treatment he was drugged and easier to catch. they are all in a fishbowl and doing...

glad i got the "finger" one before it was removed. I cant imagin anyone here using it seriously. I thought it was funny. just MHO

Thanks Kevin, I am aware of these products but have never tried them. the site I was looking at implied that the chemicals in these products are more effective on the free swimming juveniles than the attached worms. I am going to try one of these products anyways......desperation. Thanks again

Does anyone here know if there is an effective treatment for anchor worms other than just pulling them off? i have one guppie fry that has one and i cant catch him and i cant pull them off like i could on goldfish. I have read about many meds i could buy at the LFS but they all say that they may...

I don't rinse my cartridges in tap water as it seems the chlorine in my city water kills the bacteria on the cartridge. I use the old water from a water change and swish it around in that.

Well I'm back. Have stopped in a few times and I see some new updates to the site. Very Nice. After my evil twin did all that Nazi Fish Killer stuff I had to empty the tank and start over. Took forever to cycle as I was too lazy to go buy unscented ammonia. Every little scratch on the glass or...

I was wondering how the pond is going. Haven't heard anything about your progress. Is West Nile a consideration in its completion? :? lol

oops sorry, i meant that post for VN. 8O

you take them outside and release them? do you have a pond or something outside? if not, i got bad news for you.......oh nevermind. lol :roll:

This may sound cruel to you but I smash small snails against the glass sides of the tank and the fish eat them out of the shell. I have been told not to do this with bare hands as snails carry bacteria that can cause infection. some woman use to do this for her fish and says she almost lost her...

In the past I have had Loaches, kulii's. This time I purchased one that tolerates cooler water. Reasearch led me to consider the Dojo/Weather Loach. Now I expected to rarely see this loach but was pleasantly surprised to see it active in the light.........did I say active?.........This guy's...

thanks again CRaZeee
