just treated my community tank this evening with levimisole, really needed to use it, guppys that were put in there a few months ago- came from a tank where they are now showing Camallanus big time, can't have my community tank infected.
anyway my loaches hid, so i looked for the largest, he's at least 7 years old, probably older, anyway he was COVERED in slime sheets and pale grey. i removed all of the clowns from this tank and put them in an empty quarantine tank i had.
BUT I want them treated, they can't stay in a 20 gallon Q tank forever.
They've been in the tank with infected fish for a long time, plus my newest little clown is about a year old, but still so skinny and tiny, they really need the treatment in my opinion.
has anyone used this on clowns? i have used it on other fish b4, but never on my loaches.
if i were going to be around tomorrow to keep an eye on them i may have let the clowns stay in there for at least 6 hours, but i will be gone all day. maybe i'll just treat the qt this weekend when i can watch them like a hawk. i feel bad though. it was obviously so distressing for them.
