Monogeneric gill & skin flukes (Flatworm)

[angel fish]

Any bro & sis succeeded in ridding off this parasistic worm. I've tried medication with Livebearer(Trichloron drug) & Parasite Green(Formalin & Malachite green combination drug) but both medication does'nt seem working.

Next thinking of using Waterlife Sterazin which is another Formalin & Malachite green combination drug. Any more effective medication anyone tried & succeeded. Please let me know where to buy it.

Have managed to caught a few fishes out for 3 minutes fresh water dipping but impossible to net out all of them as they are faster than my hand. Whilst dipping can see plenty of these flukes came off fishes as white flat flakes.

My is a 1,000 litres 6 feet FOWLR tank with deepsand bed in main tank & wet/dry Dupla balls filtration system with overflow chamber into a 5 feet sump tank below inside cabinet. Temperature maintained at 28C, PH 8.3 & salinity is 1.020 measured with a refractometer.

Many thanks for sharing with your experiences.

You can try Eiho Prazi Gold or any medication that has Praziquantel as the main ingredient. You find Eiho Prazi Gold at C328. Good luck.
