Not seen any white poop but not sure his stomach is abnormally pinched ? Does it look like it in the photo I posted ?

Maybe instead of another prazi treatment could give him another product i got Esha NDX ?

Not familiar with that product and can't find any detailed info on it.

If I move back to the UK, it's gonna be like starting over.

I saw that one, but can't find a link which lists the actual ingredients. Over in the US, we food soak metronidazole and also use a binder to eradicate intestinal worms. It's better to deliver the medication directly into the gut, where the little jerks live.

The main ingredient of esha ndx is levimasole ?

So could you give me more details about how to feed metronidazole and the binder you suggest ?

One scoop metro + one scoop Focus + one tablespoon of frozen or pellet food. Let soak for 20 minutes before feeding. Do this for 10 days, but it may take longer to clear intestinal worms since they tend to be stubborn.

That is also a good medication to use for intestinal worms.

You use this: http://www.seachem.com/metroplex.php

And this: http://www.seachem.com/focus.php

And this is how I do it:

Add the following to a shot glass:

1 tablespoon of frozen food or pellets
Sprinkle 1 scoop of Metroplex (or any metronidazole based med) over the food
Sprinkle 1 scoop of Seachem Focus (or another binder) over the food
Add 4-5 drops of saltwater so that everything is moist

Stir it all together until a paste-like consistency is achieved. Let everything sit for 30 minutes and then you are ready to feed. You can refrigerate or even freeze any leftovers for future use.

Well I've looked into the seachem products and they are not available in the U.K. so that concoction is not feasible for me to administer

I don't know whether to medicate the second course of fluke solve or dose the esha NDX or the myxazin now ? Then do the CP ?

Copperband (Hitch) is eating well, lively, and looks great, barring the now tripled in size face herpes.

I'm back to thinking its lympho

We are 6 days into antibiotics.

I think he actually may finally be fattening up a bit.

melypr1985 · Mar 23, 2017

Yup. Herpes

Biznizface · Mar 23, 2017

After almost 2 weeks of kanaplex for the CBB, I did a 50% water change and they are back together again. Here they are eating a mix of frozen brine and mysis. The CBB eats the frozen begrudgingly and gives me attitude about it lol!

Jofiel · Apr 2, 2017

Both fish are looking supremely happy and healthy. CBB lost his cauliflower lip yesterday!

I think they are both ready for the main display as soon as it's ready for them!

Humblefish · Apr 2, 2017

@Jofiel Awesome! That will be a nice pair of butterflies to have in your DT.

excellent news! I'm so glad they are both doing so well for you!

Well darn it! The CBB hasn't been eating well for a few days and this morning he appears to be dying.

There are no marks on him though his coloration is a bit dark.

Tank parameters are same as always. No
Ammonia, 77 degrees. I did a water change any way and threw in some carbon.

The long nose is just fine. Alert, hungry, and happy.

Super depressed. I really thought he had made it and was planning on moving them to the new display today
