picked up a couple of those new 'super red' gold severums today on impulse buy. had to fill the quarentine tank when I got home so excuse the bubbles all over the fish LOL
they will live in this tank for a few months I think, to grow them up a bit and to make sure they do not have camallanus worms.
many of the severums at the LFS's in my area seem to get severums in with these dreaded worms in from the suppliers.
I want to ensure these guys are clean before they go into the 150g.
since the worm can live inside the fish for a long time before being visible out the anus, the quarentine period has to be long

have you thought bout using wormer plus as a precaution it will kill any worms and flukes that the fish may have
problem is, the only medication that is effective against camallanus is levamisole. its difficult to get. Jungle Aquatics makes a small pellet that contains it and I might try and see if I can get some of this food and feed it as a precaution.
I am actually going to have to return one of the severums tomorrow. one is being clobbered by the other one. I had a feeling this might happen, but I took a chance.
normally, I buy cichlids in trios or foursomes to spread out agression, otherwise I usually only get one.
but since these fish were nice, I decided to take a chance..lol
and they were too expensive to buy a bunch of them.
oh well.
