Re: more parasite questions..

["Phil Eaton" <peaton@hotmail.com>]

Dionigi,

Sorry, my knowledge of bilogical sciences and the proper adjectives eludes 
me!  I do believe I mean nematodes...

I did save the info that you are referring to, but I have noticed in some 
cases, the tablets are crushed, mixed with tank water, and poured into the 
tank.  In other cases, the pasty mixture is mixed with food with the 
likelyhood that the fish will ingest the medicine.

Which might be the best way to administer the dosage?

Again, Thankyou for your help!

Phil

>...noticed a bright red flagelate...

Are you sure you are using the term flagellate appropriately? They are
single-cell organisms, and I can't imagine how can they stick out of
anything.  Did you mean nematode instead?

If indeed there is a nematode problem, the recommended treatment
(levamisole) has been posted multiple times and is available online on
some of the apisto sites. Do you have access to this info?
