Re: Levamisole treatment

["Chris Jewell" <chris@jewell68.freeserve.co.uk>]

Just for the info guys, I lost both fish last night - they becamse listless
and stopped feeding in isolation, and died.It took perhaps 72 hours max,
pretty similar simptoms and the same time sclae to the problems that claimed
all my apisto's and other dwarfs.

Is there a more general cichlid list or similar on this server?

Still, any suggestions to anything that fits the description?

Thanks for the support, and I appologise for filling all your inboxes.

Chris
