2014-1/26

DELOS added 1/25.  Flubendazole added last week on Tuesday.  This is 2nd round aimed at eradicating Capillaria from the tank.  Previous efforts have failed to eliminate it.  It recurs after a few months to infect another fish.  This time my smallest blue leopard snakeskin.

Fish are sluggish today as they often are after treatment with these antiparasitic meds.
My experience has been that with the dosing I've used levamasole causes more distress in the fish than does flubendazole.
 
 
Have one of albino coral discus that is blind in right eye in QT tank.  Trying to fatten him up.  He is eating well.  Have treated QT with same antiparasitics as in main tank.
