Annabelle IP's (From Tapeworms to Camallanus worms)

Oh no! Sick fish?! Come here and see if someone can help!

Read this before posting!!

Since this board has been up, we have found there are several questions that routinely get asked in order to help diagnose problems. If you can have that information to begin with in your post, we'll be able to help right away (if we can!) without having to wait for you to post the info we need.

1) Your water parameters - pH, Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrates and salinity (if appropriate). This is by far the most important information you can provide! Do not answer this with "Fine" "Perfect" "ok", that tells us nothing. We need hard numbers.

2) Tank size and a list of ALL inhabitants. Include algae eaters, plecos, everything. We need to know what you have and how big the tank is.

3) Feeding, water change schedule and a list of all products you are using or have added to the tank (examples: Cycle, Amquel, salt, etc)

4) What changes you've made in the tank in the last week or so. Sometimes its the little things that make all the difference.

5) How long the aquarium has been set up, and how did you cycle it? If you don't know what cycling is read this: Fishless Cycling Article and familiarize yourself with all the information. Yes. All of it.

We want to help, and providing this information will go a LONG way to getting a diagnosis and hopeful cure that much faster.

While you wait for assistance:
One of the easiest and best ways to help your fish feel better is clean water! If you are already on a regular water change schedule (50% weekly is recommended) a good step to making your fish more comfortable while waiting for diagnosis/suggestions is to do a large water change immediately. Feel free to repeat daily or as often as you can, clean water is always a good thing! Use of Amquel or Prime as a dechlor may help with any ammonia or nitrite issues, and is highly recommended.

Note - if you do not normally do large water changes, doing a sudden, large water change could shock your fish by suddenly changing their established water chemistry. Clean water is still your first goal, so in this case, do several smaller (10%) water changes over the next day or two before starting any large ones.

My puffers took a a bit of time to eat again after levimisole exposure. A perk of levi is it stimulates depressed immune system function, so secondary issues are more likely to pass.

She just ate a few pieces of shrimp. :D I finally saw her go pooh this morning and it's not good. :( She still has white stringy pooh that looks like tapeworm. Here are some pictures. She wouldn't stay still long enough for me to get a good shot. She suddenly has energy. Must have been the water change. :D

Edit: She just ate 6 more small pieces of shrimp for a total of 3/4 of a whole shrimp! :D

Annabelle just had a "BIG" black pooh! :D I saw some pooh earlier today but I didn't know what it was. This time I saw her go potty and it was "BIG" black pooh! :D I didn't know something so big could come out of something so little! :shock: I'm so proud of her! :grin2: I had to call grandma and she's proud of Annabelle too. :D

:ROFL: I am soooooooo happy right now! She has so much energy! She's swimming around the tank, chasing ghost shrimp and bitting the driftwood. I haven't figured out what she's bitting the driftwood , I guess she's mad at it. Or maybe my berried shrimp let some baby shrimp go. :|
Anyway, just one more treatment and we are done! Done, Done, Done, Done! My beatuiful Annabelle is going to make it! :horns:

Yay for Annabelle!
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Found among the papers of Mohatma Gandhi
