Hi Nikki from your description it is a Protozoan problem and the stringy white poo only confirms this Metronidazole is the best treatment for flagellated protozoan infestation been so long I'm not sure of dosage rate but think its 5 mg/L but you buy it as Flagyl in tablet form and it is a prescription medication ..... on good terms with your doctor or Vet please note it is illegal to trade in prescription meds or give them to people other than listed on the prescription this includes some LFS that may have them for their own use :wink2: maybe one of the others can confirm doseage pretty sure a search will answer as it is a commonm question

Ron Silver's shop at Brookvale opposite the bus depot ahhh yes the big besser block pond oh the monsters in that bin he use to put on his scuba gear to service it nice one Neolamp did you ever go to his house at Greenich before he started the shop

mate of mine used to run the Cronulla shop for a while then he went on to manage Auburn when they were underneath Joyce Maine shop that was a fun move when we shifted everything up to street level I remember the one at Conulla had a freshwater sawfish in a pond and they called it McCulloch because the bill looked like a chainsaw

the usual start with Goldfish from the local pet shop then the old man takes me over to Toy Fisheries at Homebush 1960 something WOW they had everything even freshwater crocs by the time I had a license they were gone roll into the 70's and I found Cichlids working at Roselands it was handy to drop into Marine Life Aquarium @ Punchbowl bought a pair of Tilapia mosambique and found not a good fish to have with an undergravel after the usual ribbing about "you keep fish" one of the mates started to be interested in Cichlids so the weekend was usually driving around to any LFS and backyarder to see what they had the girls only complained a little bit but eh who cared this was boys stuff there was a guy at Smithfield that had the first serious Africans we saw Frontosas and Haps and Mbuna etc etc etc selling out of his garage there was also Norm Halliwell selling from his garage at Moorebank (where I first met Sorroz) another guy that backyarded was in Hawthorne Pde Haberfield and he had Snakeheads in ponds under the tanks and the some of best looking Nicraguense I have ever seen ........... I can still picture my mates face when he was pointing at the pond and the guy got out a piece of dowel so we could see the Snakehead bit it in two "keep your fingers out of there" Ashfield Aquarium where I found a Chaca Chaca Riverside when it was on the river at Marrickville St George the "Tardis" soooo many tanks Crystal Palace at Five Dock Auburn Aquarium where I use to work weekends in the 80's Wet n Dry at Kingswood .......... Wally was a fun guy just to talk to and find some unusual stuff Zebra Plec Royal Plec and Blue Eye Plecs Wetpets at Bondi Junction ... Horst the amazing so may catfish you would never find anywhere else to be continued

not real familiar with these but are they a line bred form of T caramba or has T caramba been crossed with something else to produce them if they are line bred they are not a hybrid basically

well they come from Tanganyika and are Tropheus ............. just not Duboisi

how many adult frontosa are you shipping ? I'd guess you would get 3 per box and water level would need to be near half so the fish is just covered with the bag on it's side

Should have mentioned that I like to use the large bags and lay them on their side when sending large qty of fry It all depends on the size of the fish to ship hope it helps you get an idea of how to look at it

Below is an outline of how to ship fish with AAE need an approved styro box this will have an approval mark on the lidyou will need an inner liner so large garbage bag or similaryou will need an absorbant so layer of newspaper on bottom of boxdon't feed the fish for 48 hrs before shippingdouble bag with 2 elastic bands per bagwater to 1/3 of bag heightuse Prime 1-2 drops depending on bag sizemix half tank water and half pre conditioned fresh wateruse oxygenuse some sort of packing if bags are loose in box ie bubblewrap or newspapersize of bag is determined by size and number of fishprint a label in A4 paper with receivers name and contact details plus your name, contact details and address as senderand put it in a plastic bag and tape it to the lidleave the lid unsealed as they will want to inspect the boxtake a roll of 2" packing tape and seal the box after they OK itcall the receiver and advise con note number and flight details This post has been promoted to an article
