Praziquantel in a QT.
Look at the surface of the eye, with eye flukes there is a raised flat semi transparent animal actually sitting on the eye ball. with a bacterial infection the eye tends to be cloudy all over, swollen and may be reddened around the edges of the socket.
If it is eye flukes, sometimes it goes away by itself but that sort of risky since the fish could lose it's eye...

are there any other side effects from cyanide that I could look out for. I have done some research and can't seem to find any info about it, other than it happens a lot in the Phillipines and Indonesia.


The article I read said that enhanced colouration is another side effect. The Phillipines are apparently one of the worst for this practice.

Just finished doing a freshwater dip with her. *Fingers Crossed* Hopefully it all works and she is better in the morning, as we could already notice a big difference right away when we put her back in the saltwater.

Hopefully she's still swimmin in the morning.

Will update you then!!

The freshwater dip worked great. Pretty sure that it was flukes. She looks much better today!! :biggrin:

Good to hear, you cant always see the actual fluke on the eye. Hopefully the dip took care of it.:smile:
