Interestingly no actual sign of a worm on my fish, just the white spot inside the red lesion but I have some Parasite Clear which I intend to use. It says it is for Anchor Worm and to use one tablet for 10 gallons once a week for 3 weeks for anchor worms and lice with a 25% water change each week. Contains Metrnidazole, Praziquantel,
Diflubenzuron and Acriflavine.
Here where I live, no specialist fish shops for medication and just Petco and Wal-Mart for fish. i regularly have 'discussions' with the management of both about how they keep their fish, many of which are often sick or dying. In fact this is how I came to have fish in the first place, as I got so upset seeing so many dying there. Yes, I know, not the brightest thing I have done, but I do love them and this little guy is a real character, as they all are. I have rescued Bettas and goldfish, (not in together, of course!) and am running out of room for tanks!!! I have told them they should have more respect for the living creatures they make money from and I'm disgusted by the way Bettas are kept and some of the things sold to keep them in too - those miniature double tanks should be banned for a start. Also ... oh don't get me started ... :>)
