 Posted: Thu Sep 10, 2009 2:18 pm Post subject: Need help with FISH LICE( ARGULUS) |
 |
|
small 125 gallon pond.
are mostly attached to my 2 koi fish or are free swimming. other fish are mollies mostly and about 50 juvenile mollies. they seem to be fine
i cant find any specific medications for Argulus in hyderabad LFS.
i tried 4 different medications over a month. they always keep coming back.
looks like the medicines didnt work on the eggs or juvies.
SO
i thought tetracycline drugs will work on them. i added some to a few lice seperated in a glass and guess what happened. every fking one of the lice started laying eggs(almost immediately) in the glass. LOL
WHERE CAN I BUY POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE / ORGANOPHOSPHATES ? (I mean which kind of stores?) |

Not sure if PP will help for lice treatment.
Best medicine to get is Dimilin (you will get it at any Vet medicine store). |
