Thanks Frederick. Yes, this was another of my concerns actually. Would I even know what I was looking for if I did do a scrape? Probably not. Knowing what you should be looking for wouldn't be easy. I can imagine I might see all sorts of things that look like bugs which actually aren't! And I've read too that fish do have some low numbers of parasites that don't cause any problems, and seeing a few under the microscope doesn't mean the fish needs treatment.

I think I will try the Droncit again since it was very effective before, but add another dose to try and make sure all the flukes are gone. Then see where we are at. At least I know that Droncit is fish, filter and plants friendly and shouldn't cause any problems.

On another topic, the fish might be getting that new tank sooner than I (and they!) thought.......! Just to clarify, larger volume of water means more dilution of Nitrates, right?!!


Its my pleasure and your right about there being low levels on a fish, and in my opinion if you didnt see some parasites (like whitespot which lay domient then id be worried as the fish has never seen it before.

If you have found a treatment that works thn stick to it, it can take a while to fully do the job but give it time. At the same time you can feed a varied diet and maybe even liek something like frozen brineshrimp with garlic (made by TMC) which will again boost their immune system and appently parasites dont like it, bit like me
