Cocugreek5 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I have a 75 gallon 6 week old tank. 0 am /0 nitrite/ 25 nitrate/7.6 Ph and it may be on the hard side since it's Chicago water. Temp is 76 degrees. I posted earlier thinking it was fungal or bacterial. I dosed the tank as it were a minor fungal infection seeing the fish were eating and not acting too sick. I did the one treatment of Erythomicin and Ich x one week soak on Tuesday night. Yesterday they seemed to behaving great and eating well still. Today they are eating but a little less lethargic. Now I notice on the their sides what seems to be a white worm. Both have it and it's much clearer now after the med treatment. Contemplating dong Paracleanse but not sure how to incorporate it with what I have done or at what dosages. The worms are tiny and white. That's if they are even worms. That's where you guys come in if you have ever seen this before. From the internet searches they look closest to planaria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 It could be hook worms try general cure or prazipro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cocugreek5 Posted January 14, 2021 Author Share Posted January 14, 2021 Thank you for the quick response! Are they similar to Paracleanse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Manifesto Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Planaria won't attach itself to a fish like this in my experience. Anchor worms or some other similar parasite is my guess. Yes Paracleanse is similar to General Cure, but I think you'll need something like Prazipro for anchor worms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cocugreek5 Posted January 14, 2021 Author Share Posted January 14, 2021 Ok sounds good. Can Ich X and Prazi pro go in together. I have one dose in their from Tuesday night. The HIkari website mentions preferred method is to be dosed after Ich X. I just want to make sure both together won't have an adverse affect.

Mr_Manifesto Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I don't know about running them together. I have never run them together, but paracleanse and general cure both have the same active ingredient that's in Prazipro, so you should be fine. but If I remember ICH-X is recommended to be dosed every day, and that you should do some water change (25%?) before dosing again. If you haven't dosed ICH-X since Tuesday, I'd change some water and just dose the Prazipro just to be safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
