Ant Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 No i don't think so. You can also get a script from your own Doctor. Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eaglebarret Posted May 14, 2005 Author Share Posted May 14, 2005 is it expensive? I just need something to cure whatever is causing my fish not to be as well as they should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazimbwe Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Is Metron the right medication for the problem you have? What is the problem that you are medicating for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 You need to give your fish time to settle after being wormed. Some fish can be a bit crook due to the Prazi med. Give them time and try not to be to fussy over them. If they don't come good a month down the track then i'd worry. As long as they are getting 'some' food into their guts i wouldn't be concerned. From what i understand your tank would have been unsettled by the sterazin and the prazi med. It could be an ammonia spike that is your problem, that i said could be possible in earlier topics. Check you ammonia and other water parameters and let us know. Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eaglebarret Posted May 14, 2005 Author Share Posted May 14, 2005 All water parameters are fine, i am unable to test ammonia as the colour card went missing!! but for what i remember it is ok. They are eating bits and pieces, but not a lot. or they take a heap in there mouth and spit it out as if they have taken it into there mouth. I have had no other symptoms of worms, so should i just give it time for them to get their full appetite back. They are still breeding and swimming fine so thats a good thing isnt it??

BlakeyBoyR Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 You should never medicate unless you know what you are medicating for and if it is absolutely necessary. In this instance I would suggest what everyone else has suggested, hang tight and watch their health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.d.m Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 first thing i'd try is a 30% water change-good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eaglebarret Posted May 15, 2005 Author Share Posted May 15, 2005 Thanks for the reply guys, your prob right, I'm prob just a tad paranoid after losing fish to worms!! I'll just wait and see what happens. I will just do more regular water changes at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
