Full Version: Can Guppies Have Flukes?

Since all my tanks have to be considered contaminated with flukes, I was thinking that I have to worry about the guppy tank too.

Do I?

Are the fish too small to support the gill flukes that a goldie does? Would it not kill the guppy outright to have that parasitic load on such a small fish? There is no way I am ever going to be able to take a scraping on such a tiny fish.

If they do potentially carry them, can Prazi be used?

????????????????????????????????????

Thanks. This means I have to treat the guppies as well as the goldies in my house. I want to leave no source of reinfestation! smile.gif
