hi samir

what makes you sure its gill flukes mate? and how do i treat the babies please?

[fishgeek]

praziquantel should treat tthe gill fluke

babies will also be more susceptible to water quality problems, your regular changes should mean no nitrate spikes
are you happy that the source water has no chlorine, heavy metals etc and that it is going in sloly enoug that no t,mmperature fluctuations etc to stress young
