Hi all,

i m still battling with the unknow parasite in my tanks!!

Has anyone seem this bug b4 ?? (see below). Its smaller than 1mm and it looks like it can jump like fleas and also can swim in a zig zag motion!!

Last week, i treated my tank with PARA-CIDE tablet (Aqua Master). But unsuccessful !!

Now i just add some Multi Cure (Aqua Master) in my tanks. But the bugs still looks very active!!

What can i do ?? My fishes still looks ok but i still want to get rip off it!!

Plz help

What temp is the tank set at?

sometimes knocking it to above 30c will do the trick, also some aquarium salt (just make sure you have plenty of aeration if you crank the temp up)

does it bother your discus?? I think I saw them in my tank before..but did not bother my discus..so I just ignore them..
