In Response To: anchor worm (rose roque)

Do NOT used Dimlin on arowana. Some fish can be very sensitive to Dimlin. Treatment: Once the fish is anaesthetized, all anchor worms should the be removed very carefully with tweezers, ensuring that the head and anchor are removed, not just the body and tail of the anchor worm. If difficulties are experienced in removing the live anchor worm, a strong solution of Potassium Permanganate crystals should be prepare by mixing 1 gram in 25 ml's of hot water. Dip the tweezers tips into the solution prior to removing the worm. Once the solution touched the anchor worm body, it should release it grip immediately. Once removed, the point of contact should be disinfected with a strong tropical dressing.
