Loaches Online Forum

Aquasafe is not harmfull in any way. It might not help anything, but its a harmless product. I`m from Norway and we probably have the same kind of water-quality.

Hi again!

EUREKA!!! I have found a vet who can probably help me.
But she needs to know the exact latin name of the parasite that causes skinny disease in order to find a suitable drug that is available over here in Norway. I cant find it anywhere on the internett.

Does anyone know?

Ok! Thanks Emma!
I know panacur doesn`t harm fish, as it has been used quite commonly in aquariums over here before. What I don`t know anything about, is whether it has any effect against "skinny disease". But the product is definetly a de-wormer, at least for cats and dogs

Difficult for me to say if its definitive. But as it was passed 3 weeks ago, I doubt that they will change it soon enough for me to save my Loaches :x Have you heard about this Panacur (Fenbendazol), that I mentioned? I remember I used it to treat my cat over 10 years ago. But if it cures Botias, I ...

Thanks a lot Emma :D My b....y problem is that the meds will be confiscated in customs!! And if so happens, I will be charged and fined for smuggling!! I know this is hard to believe and indeed understand, but Norway have extremely strict regulations - for good and for bad, i guess - Maybe there sim...

Panacur is available. The active ingredient is Fenbendazol.
Is this an option???

sorry for beeing impatient... I fear that one of the clowns needs help really fast.

Bloody hell!! (Pardon my french) Apparently all the above mentioned are now illegal here in Norway! New rules as of 3 weeks ago. However; there is a product called Furanol from JBL which I hav seen for myself in the shop-shelves, so this is deffinetly not illegal. The effective ingredient in this is...

Thanks a lot!!
Turns out I might have problem with Flubenol aswell But i know I can get Prazi Pro. (Norway is hopeless in cases like this. MANY strikt and stupid import-laws)

I can get hold of Flubenol 15... I believe this contains Flubendazole???
Or am I wrong?

Hi! I have 4 clowns which I`m quite sure have "skinny disease". I live in Norway and Levamisole is not possible to obtain. It can`t be imported either because of new governement restrictions on importing medications. Therefore; Anyone who can help me with some alternatives (if any) to Levamisole?? I...

Thanks!!
I`ll give it a shot!!!

Thanks for the reply!
Then a REALLY silly question; How do I post pics on the forum??
I know how to do it "over here" on other forums, but cant quite figure out how to do it here

(Sorry for the stupid questions)

Hi! I`m from Norway and I`m new on this great forum! I have 5 clowns in my tank and two of them of course developed ich. This is now cured, and none of the other inhabitants got the parasite :D However, one of the clowns is really skinny and doesn`t seem to gain much weight. The interesting thing (t...
