Major symptom is a bundle of red "feelers" protruding half an inch from the
fish's vent.
There was a case here a couple of years back, treated with a cattle drench.
I'd be grateful for a suggested dosing regime.
The fish concerned is presently in a planted tank - will the gravel need to
be discarded or will boiling/soaking in Potassium permangenate do? I assume
the plants will need to be discarded.
I know that this pernicious beastie has come up on the list before - I am
just too tired and emotional to go wading through the archives at the moment
:) so would be grateful for advice.
Regards, Andrew Boyd

"Then the time comes when it is clear nothing new or important will
be done: and one draws out the ledger and begins to itemise what
there is, of value, that can be offered to posterity. And here is
a good deed, and there an act of courage: during this year one worthy
story was told, during that decade involvement in an important social
movement. If there are babies, that is logged in. If there are books,
they are noted. Loving friends. Wives and husbands. Kindness to
small animals. A hill bearing your name. But the laurels you've counted
on, they've turned to dust."
Harlan Ellison, Introduction to "Prayers to Broken Stones"
