Every parasite has a life cycle and and needs a host fish to continue its reproduction cycle which is why we have Fallow periods (fishless) so that the life cycle is endedHi all, if a tank doesnt have any fish, will flukes die?
There is an exception to this Uronema does not require a host.Every parasite has a life cycle and and needs a host fish to continue its reproduction cycle which is why we have Fallow periods (fishless) so that the life cycle is ended
Yes - the point was leaving a tank fallow does not remove Uronema. Uronema is not a bacteria. The good news is that Uronema seems to rarely attack healthy fish, as compared to weakened one. There are often questions 'If I have uronema, do I need to completely sterilize and tear down/disinfect my tank. The answer is no. The answer is also - that it can remain in your tank - and thereafter, even fish that have been quarantined can be infected - depending on the conditions.Uronema is a ciliated protozoa that live freely in marine environment eating bacteria But will attach to a weakened fish and feed off their internal organs and muscles and reproduce. Uronema marinum is classified as a saltwater parasite with a different behavior opposed to cyst type but bears similar symptoms. QT breaks their cycle of producing these flesh eating bacteria
