| Just read an article which basically say Prazi Pro is useless on c.worms.   Thank goodness for FishNfry living down the road she is giving me some medicated food with levmisol in it. | |

| Fish now showing signs of being infected are 
1 & 2-Breeding pair of bristle nose plecos Huge ICH spots. 
3. Clown pleco...she is really swollen ALL over
4. Keyhole male, eye look at tad bugged out. 
I hope the food can help these 4 out.
Treated with Jungle Labs medicated food. It say it treats Camallanus worms right on the package.  http://kensfish.com/medications/juna...astitefood.JPG
It's a 4 week treatment so I guess time will only tell.

| My betta boys are starting to look better already. I really hope this med is working like it seems. I got some triple sulfa to add to the tanks in case some have bacterial issues. Prince and Felix have fin rot, the TS will help with that. | |

We are going into the fish breeding business on full scale in a few years so I want to learn to treat illness properly so I can be prepared then.
We are not having kids so my pets are my kids lol.

As long as they keep fighting (just like you), they should come out of it. Are they still eating the med food? | |

| Luis the keyhole is looking really bad. His face is swollen, eyes bugged out and dark. He has been like this for days. I had to put him in a 5g sick tank alone. Maria his woman has been picking on him the past week. He is too weak to fight back.
On a lighter not, all remaining fish are better or were never sick to begin with.
Angelfish pair locking lips and bickering, normal to me.
None of our plecos or Ottos seem affected. I wonder if it's b/c they eat wood and algae, plus a bit of shrimp pellets once in awhile. The c.worms seem to like hosts who have high protein diets like betta. Who eat all meat except peas once a week.
Malawi cichlids eat a mix of spirulina and meat flakes, they seem untouched too.
I hope Sunny my very last betta boy thrives for as long as possible.
Maybe once Luis passes or improves this will be the end of this horrible fatal parasite.  | |

| Week 2 of medicated food:
Everyone is still eating the food...tho Sunny Mr. Betta looks a me odd every time I give it to him. Like this isn't the good stuff is it?
Betta/Angelfish/Keyholes: Smokey my male looks fine, but the Betta still has red thread hanging out his anus. Ziggy, my female seem unaffected, same with the female keyhole.
Our 4 fancy plecos, 5 bn plecos and ottos still show no signs of having c.worms
All 9 Malawi cichlids are unaffected and should be...I didn't have my hands in their tank like the others.
I have hope for all but the male keyhole at this point. Time will only tell. | |

| Sunny hasn't been eating the medicated food today and I am not sure about yesterday either. But he seem fine the worms are still hanging but not as many.
Mr. Keyhole was in a 5g alone for a bit. His gf kept harrassing him....so I let him rest for a few days there. Today he seemed stronger and I put him in the 20g with all the others again. He was flirting with his gf (so cute). But he is still darker than I'd like him to be. | |

| I am getting frustrated about Sunny. He STILL has worms out is butt. 
He looks fine a few small tears but he not getting rid of the worms. I don't think he ate the medicated food yesterday.
The male keyhole is looking better today his keyhole pattern is starting to show. He does seem to rest a lot. I dunno what up with him.
The brighter side is both angelfish are fine, so are the bristle nose pair and clown pleco. | |

Sunny the betta is getting holes in his fins but still perky.
I think I found the right treatment but too late for most of the fish in direct contact. | |

| At this point it is week 3 of the medicated food treatment...the betta is the only one showing worms. He did eat some food today I crushed it into a crumble and put one of his reg pellets with it. Hopefully this he will get rid of the worms for good. His fins are NOT getting any worse nor his he bloated. He has been having some funky looking poops tho. Latest pix. | |

| Well there are no betta boys left the c. worms got them all. All fish that were infected are fine or dead. Unfortunately there are more dead than alive. SO please, please take a lesson from my mistakes. A quarantine tank is a must. Always disinfect anything when moving it from one tank to another. Always disinfect tank, gravel and anything in tank in between sickness. You never know what can actually survive in a drop of water. 
RIP Victims of the Camallanus worms:
1. 4 diamond tetra
2. 2 male keyholes Luis and Pedro
3. Scooby the Wide Bar datnoid
Betta Splendens
1. Mr. Peach VT
2. Jasper VT
3. Holly DRCT
4. Aries VT
5. Casper DDRCT Aquabid boy
6. Buster CT
7. Sebastian VT
8. JB VT
9. Prince HM
10. Felix CT
11. Sunny HM
That a lot of fish in 6 months. | |

| Well Maria showed signs of worms a week ago and died over night. Found her this morning at the bottom of the tank.
They won't eat the medicated food so my angelfish are doomed. I thought the worms were gone but last week the keyhole and male angelfish had them sticking out AGAIN!!
With out Levimisol this parasite is fatal, it's been six months and I still have fish dropping dead. There is no guarantees that any fish will eat any medicated food so meds in the water is what is needed.
*Why didn't I quarantine those keyholes in February? UGGG!!* | |

| I just made a conclusion...even if these fish were in QT even for a month. They didn't show signs of having a parasite until months later. I know this parasite is rare but geeze! It make you want to stop buying store bought fish all together. | |

| Allie that it some disease to get rid of and sorry for your losses here. Did you ever try Metronidazole?
I had to use it one time on Discus and that did a fine job(lost 3,but saved 6) but it was very tough to find. Only place to find it was online and quite EXPENSIVE. It was somewhere in the $60 range for 3 and half ounces. | |

No we didn't try it in the liquid form. But the Jungle Labs medicated parasite food had that, I believe & praziquantel & levimisol, which isn't available in Canada. The problem with the food is, the fish won't eat it. | |

But every cichlid and our wide bar datnoid has died from the dread worms.
So I expect them both to die if they continue not to eat the medicated food. | |

| To bad too as the food does work. Have you tried feeding only it to them and nothing else?? Or are they just not eating anything?? | |
