Tapeworms, YUK.
:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
I saw a worm in my tank the other day so I suspected it might be a tapeworm and as my Pidgeon blood has always been skinny I thought he must be the carrier.
I got some Aqua Master fluke and tapeworm tablets from the local aquarium shop and treated the tank as directed.
I was shocked the next morning to see it was my Red Turquoise that was infected and not the Pidgeon blood.
This is a photo I took with the worms still hanging from her.
I took heaps of shots but most were out of focus.

It's also available on some of the online aquariums but look around as it varies in price from $14 to $32
Try this site they have it for $14.

AquaticLife will ship Scott, usually takes 1-2 days, although the weekend will prove to be a problem...

I got it from
Blackburn Aquarium
294 Middleborough Rd
Blackburn South
98986222.
Boronia also sell it.
I don't think this is a hard to get medication so if Blackburn or Boronia are to far do a ring-a-round as I'm sure most good aquariums will stock it.

I once had a bn die after medication using mech green and meth blue, i was told by the lfs that it wouldnt effect them but was told by others it would have.
Was this the reason for the bn's death???
Just seemed too much of a coincedence that he died the day after treatment and he was fine before hand..Also bn's are tough as nails so i cant see anything else other than the meds that would have killed him.
