I have four African Dwarf frogs who are living with four guppies and two female bettas. Everyone seems happy and gets along well. My problem is that I have recently noticed anchor worms on one, possible multiple guppies. I have succesfully treated anchor worm in my big tank with Auatronics's Paragon. My Question is: will this treatment be safe to use with frogs in the tank or will it kill them. Is someone could tell me i would be very greatful.
P.S. I am not even sure this is how you post a question.
 
What size tank? What are your water parameters? How long have you had them? Any new fish?

I have never experienced anchor worms, so I can't tell you if that treatment will work. It sounds like you may be having a problem if you are having instances of anchor worms in multiple tanks; anchor worms aren't very common.... What are the symptoms you are seeing - are you sure it is anchor worm? Any pics?

Have you read this? It doesn't talk about your specific info, but it has a lot of information....

Welcome to the board, btw!
 
I know its anchor worm because I took my first fish showing signs of it into a fish store and they confermed it. I believe got it both times from fish purchased from PetCo (I know this is bad).
 
Can you anwer any of the questions that I asked?

Also, take what a pet store employee says with a huge grain of salt. Most don't have any type of idea of what they are talking about. I hope you have researched anchorworm on here or on google and have confirmed their diagnosis.
