| I just three days ago purchased two female long fin albinos,once in their new tank i noticed they had little worms coming out the bums,ive used a wormer called aqua worm(praziquantel 100mg)..this was two days ago,they have done alot of poo since then but the worms are still their and look to be moving,im meant to do a 25% water change today but it seems they are still alive,how long does it take to kill them off and should i change the water today and repeat treatment..it doesnt seem to have worked..thanks | |

| make sure you clean the tank after each dose as the wormer doesnt kill the worms, it paralises them and then they can pass them. then you clean them | |
