true percs

[romsoccer12]

i was the one with the thread on whats wrong with my percs. strange, but all the blemishes slowly dissapeared on both except one little wartlike bump on one. now they swim around and eat a lot. i wonder what i couldve been. both have white stringy waste which somone said was worms and to treat with prazipro. my question is, can prazipro be put into the main tank? if not, i bought a QT and its setup but maybe the clowns can fight it off themselves and not go through the stress of QT. My next question is, why havent they hosted anything yet? They are wild raised from Singapore so i would think they would be all over my big nem. Its been about 2-3 weeks but they survived coming to my tank wich is more than i could ask for.

White fish poop isn't worms! LOL!
It is probably something you fed them... If they are still pooping white it might be a disease but... WORMS? LOL!

It may take clowns days, weeks, months or they may not even have the nem as a host.

Just because you have an anemone, does not guarantee you the symbiotic relationship found in the wild.

thats an awesome link. once i get the prazipro ill set up the hospital tank. how dire is having an internal parasite? can they live their whole lives with it, just not being as health? or will it slowly kill them from taking the nutriton of food? also, what anemones are common in singapore? i know there are many including lots of carpets but i cant find anything on bubble tips being in singapore. i was thinking since they where wild raised it would be their instinct to go into an anemone. guess not though.

Yes. And in most other forums, they have "stickies" or threads always at the top usually with TONS of info. There is no reason one cannot find the question to an answer via just the stickies.
