Captive goldflake angle QT ?

[Etienne 97]

I have bought a captive bred gold flake angle he is around 2" i would like to qt it for internal parazit by prevention but here in canada i don't find any metroplex and parazipro so how should i treat it here is what i can have

Fritz expel p treats worms , I haven’t tried yet but I will in a few weeks on an eel . Fritz paracleanse has praziquantel in it , So can you get that what you listed . Prazipro is just praziquantel without metronidazole

So with the fritz paracleanse i should be ok ?

I would try both Fritz products yet not at the same time . It’s better to try this now before adding to tank and contaminating your other fish . . Many fish are stressed when being transferred and not eating . Internal parasites can take a toll . Some fish may stop eating if infected and further decline . Usually stringy poop hanging from the anus is a sign but other signs can be confused with stress . If you see an emaciated fish I would def treat for internal parasites.

Rereading and I see the word cultured , did u get the fish directly from the aquaculture company ? Or did it have a middleman that put it in their system with other wild caught fish , if direct from the culture company you may not have treat with these .meds

I have get it from candy coral here in canada i don't know if they put their captive fish into a closed system https://candycorals.ca/products/captive-bred-gold-flake-angelfish-1

I have ask them and their system for the captive one and wild are separate

Then maybe you are ok . Difficult to really know what they do . They may say one thing just to appease you . . I would just in case use the praziquantel / metronidazole from fritz . It shouldn’t hurt the fish .
