Mr Gumby Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Hi folks, I QT everything for a couple of months and they get thoroughly de-wormed before going in display tanks. Is there any need to repeat the worming process at any point if no non QT fish go in the tank? The reason I ask is because I do collect daphnia from the local duck pond but I'm not sure if they could introduce anything? Pretty careful not to let pond water into my tanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 When you say you dewormed them how many treatments are we talking? Often one dose of meds or two doses will not be enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I commonly see 3 recommended, I tend to do 4-5 myself based on a major issue I had and the severity of needing to be thorough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
