I purchased a male zeb two weeks ago and he seemed to settle in fine..he acts normally..looks well coloured and alert but unfortunatly he only picks at food..he's very thin ..the weekend i noticed a thin white worm protruding from him..i removed the fish from the tank and was able to remove the worm..he looks heathier since i have to say..so what i really wanna ask is can i treat my zeb tank as a precaution with discus wormer like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/WORMER-PLUS-2000- ... 0089030295
I don't wanna lose zebra plecos cos of internal parasites..they are far to special to be lost like this
Thanks

If there a bustle in your hedgerow..dont be alarmed now..its just a springclean for the may queen!!
I would use biltricide, it contains 600mg praziquantel per tablet.
Crush the tablet(s) and solve them in warm water, after 3 days do a water change and put carbon in your filter.
You use 1 tablet for 150 liters of water.
You can get biltricide in a pharmacy.
Good luck!!
(I used it succesfully several years ago for a case of tape worm in a discus tank without any effect on my zebra's that were in the tank)

John
