Tetra 77346 Parasite Guard, 8-Tablets

Tetra 77346 Parasite Guard is excellent for getting rid of anchor worms (Lerea sp.).

Reason for review: instructions on package not clear "For anchor worms ... water change".

I made 3 calls to Tetra with different answers to my questions before the procedure given below was decided upon.

TANK: 35 gallon heavily planted fresh water tank. Details of the tank setup follows the Anchor Worm treatment that I use.

ANCHOR WORM TREATMENT:

DAY 1: (The fish with the Anchor worms were 2 Golden Barbs)

Reduce the water level to 30 gallons.

Remove Filstar Biochem Zorb from canister filter.

Dissolve 3 Parasite Guard tablets in a container of fish-tank water.

Slowly add dissolved tablets to fish tank.

The fish show no signs of being affected by the Parasite Guard.

DAY 3: Remove 25% of water from aquarium.

Add aged water (same temperature as the aquarium water) to get to 30 gal.

Repeat addition of 3 tablets of Parasite Guard.

DAY 5: Repeat DAY 3.

DAY 7: 25% water change.

Reinstall Biochem Zorb.

RESULTS OF TREATMENT:

I was amazed; the blood-red spot surrounding the anchor worm holes were almost gone on DAY 2. On DAY 3 the Anchor Worms were very small. On DAY 4 it was difficult to see the disappearing worms. On DAY 5 the worms were not visible to the naked eye.

I had some internal hexamita in an angelfish/ram cichlid tank. Fish were lethargic and not eating. After the recommended treatment, everybody recovered and is eating normally again.

Note: in acidic water like my tank has, do what the manufacturer recommends and dissolve the tablets in other water first and then add the mixture to the tank water.

I have a discus tank, and, recently, I began noticing my discus thrashing their heads and darting. I didn't see any growths or anything unusual on the skin, so I suspected gill flukes.

I purchased this medicine and, following instructions, applied it to the tank. In less than 24 hours, the problem was gone. I was prepared for a long, drawn out battle which would be complicated. This was a piece of cake.

Would highly recommend this product.

I had a few fish that were failing. No external signs. So I was worried about internal parasites. Their stool also had white string mixed in it. The failing fish were doing great after just 1 dose!!!

Fish had started getting a white film on them and the pet store attendant recommended these, but they were out of stock. Price was better on amazon and they were in hand in 24 hours with additional shipping. Ordered and they worked perfectly, just know that water will turn green for about 24 to 36 hours but will clear up.
