Weird symptoms, can anyone diagnose?

Ah, I should have seen you are outside the States....

That is a dumb hassle to have to deal with.

Best of luck in getting the meds into the tank and hope it works!

My fish all get dewormed once a year. PraziPro is top dog for me. It is mild, you don't even know it's there, doesn't stress the fish and even if they don't have worms it still cleans them out.

I dose the tank exactly as it says then do a water change in a week. Boxerwing, Big Als is in Canada and they should have it.

Thanks Lady Hobbs. I don't know how I missed it on Big Al's site. I will definitely put in an order for later use, and use the Tetra brand to get things under control right now. Actually, it was reading through your posts that I realized one needed to deworm fish routinely. We have dogs and cats; why it never occurred to me that fish needed deworming too, I'll never know.

We added the Parasite Guard last night, and it seemed today that Les the Diamond was turning around today. However, I think he just had too much damage, he wasn't eating well, and his illness took him this evening. Thanks for all the help folks.

The rest of the diamonds we added on the weekend are doing okay, so it looks like we are starting with just new fish. I am just going to try and enjoy the new fish, and always remember that Les gave me hope to keep trying.
