    Default Internal Parasite?

    Can someone please tell me how to treat Dilly for worms? After much debate with others it is likely that he's got them. No weight gain at all, poop looks like the worms he's eating and he eats!

    You might also google deworming leopard wrasse. Those guys deal with that problem all the time.

    My question is...how would he get something like this? Did it come with him or is it in my tank?

    PraziPro has arrived. Question is how do I get Dilly to ingest it? I've thawed/rinsed and am now soaking some blood worms in 4 drops of PraziPro. That's all I can think of doing.....

    Did I really think that was gonna work? NOT!! Dilly got one whiff of the med and wouldn't come near the worms.
    Moments later, fresh worms minus the meds and bang, he eats. Now what?
    I just treated the whole tank as directed.
    No I didn't ask the Wrasse guys as I don't want to register just to ask 1 question. That's what your here for SlapShot
