Posted	Help wanted
01-09-2007 21:33 by robert.pope	can anyone tell me if the Discus wormer powder can treat Hexamita??? This is a fairly common ailment with small Discus. It is an intestinal parasite, commonly brought on by even the slightest stress. If the fish look dark, have white, stringy looking white feces and are generally listless, this may be the problem. Most times they will hide in the back corner, usually facing the back of the tank. One of my Discus is showing signs of this! i treated with "Fish wormer, fluke and parasite killer " i treated the fish on wednesday and hes still not eating however hes passing on white feces
01-09-2007 21:37 by robert.pope	How soon should i see signs of improvment ??? Would you treat a second dose? thanks Rob.
01-09-2007 23:33 by Elmo	Robert, You often get problems with small discus, Is your water spot on because it sounds like they maybe struggling a bit, i emailed you last week, make sure you do not under dose when you worm them, you can put more than less in and it wont harm them

02-09-2007 00:14 by robert.pope	how long after adding the wormer should you leave it before doing a water change? the thing is im doing regular water changes to keep on top of nitrates thanks Alan my fish are now stressed after seeing the picture!

02-09-2007 08:32 by perky	Have you tryed this wormer popey..
02-09-2007 08:55 by Nick G	You lost weight Paul??? Looking goooooooooooooooooooood
02-09-2007 13:45 by Phill Austen	I thought that Flubenol did not touch Hex, is not Metrodinazole the thing to control it? Dimetronidazole is even better, but I dont think it is manufactured anymore.
03-09-2007 16:07 by Alan	Try esha hexamita or whatever its called. www.eshalabs.com
03-09-2007 20:41 by robert.pope	thanks everyone for your help! i second dosed the fish with the wormer as stated.......the fish is more active and so far tonight not shown any white feces. however still not eating at feed time
08-09-2007 13:19 by Nick G	How is the fish Rob? Hope all is well mate
09-09-2007 20:26 by robert.pope	to update i sent a nice email to one of the big Discus sponsors on this forum they advised as alan said "esha hexamita" after a 40% water change i added Hexamita along with a new nitrazorb pouch to absorb traces of nitrate and a little Vitazin the fish in question very soon showed signs of improovment next morning he eat frozen brineshrimp and has no signs of white phoo. its had its final treatment today sunday so hope hes all fixed up now! ( while he was not eating food at feeding times he was pecking at plants and algie)
