HELP ,, too much wormer used

[SUEBE333]

I think I might be losing my oscars everything was fine yesterday and I noticed Hydra all over the tank , so I added some wormer like I have heard people do , and a few hours later everybody looked sick ,, I did a 50% water change right away ... and waited , well this AM they still look pitiful , so I took an old ten gallon , and put water from each of my other tanks to fill it up and create a new quarentine tank , they are in there now , (2 oscars and a striped cat) just laying there ,.. is there anything else I can do to help them ???

I don't know of anything else you can really do. Hydra from what I have read is only really dangerous to fry and shrimp. Some fish like the gourami eat them. Hopefully someone that has experience with wormers can help.

Make sure there is an airstone in the tank with them. Add active carbon to the filter and keep doing water changes.


In the future, avoid chemicals like wormers.
