Please log in for more thread options Hello all,
I have not posted here in such a long time because I have not had any
problems for over two years....but the other day I added a new fish to my
tank after not noticing anything in QT after 10 days (I know , should have
been a month) Anyway, I now have one fish with fish lice (One) and he has
jumped to another fish and now the new one had an anchor worm (which I
removed). Rick Hess' book says to use Program and I bought some of that just
now at the vet. Do I just put the tablet in the tank? Or do I desolve it
first? Any help would be appreciated!!

Aside from picking the lice off yourself the only known med. remedy for
lice is Potassium promanganate, hope I spelled that right, bad thing is
you can only get it from a chemical company. I had this same prob a few
years ago, the goldfish were covered in lice, I tried to no avail to rid
them by taking tweezers and and removing as much as I dared stressing
the fish to do so. It's almost a no win situation with water lice. Mine
also had anchor worms and I did rid them of that but they were literally
infested with lice and had to be humanely put down. Since you've only
seen 1 lice, just watch closely and remove anymore asap. Good luck I
know it's very stressful when one of your beautiful GF is sick.
