    Any ideas how I've killed my fish?

    Hi all, Sorry for your loss, I don't have any real suggestion to make. I've not used eSHA GDEX (Praziquantel), but I've killed Planaria with Panacur (Fenbendazole) without any issue. Praziquantel is usually regarded as the least toxic (to non-target organisms) option. They should be fine...

    Hi all, I didn't. I wouldn't actually buy fish that needed to be delivered by courier, I'm not sure it is fair on the fish. I may, at some point, go back to keeping some small "difficult" loricariids, but it would be reliant on seeing them first and judging their condition etc. cheers Darrel
