Glad you asked. In Canada, all treatments for fish parasites are banned. Not exactly sure why, but the only way to get parasite medication is through a vet. At this point, API General Cure probably wouldn’t have done anything. Fenbendazole is a very strong medication, and if it doesn’t work, I don’t think general cure would. Still, if I had another shot at it, I would much prefer using a paralyzing med like Levamisole than a medication that must be ingested, like Fenbendazole.
Hey Matt, excellent video! You are so engaging, sincere and articulate. I don't keep fish and I watched it in its entirety! I'm so sorry for your loss. That really sucks. Looking forward to more of your videos and updates.
WHy didnt you just use General Cure??

Update to this: parasite meds are now occasionally available.

So encouraging to hear. Thanks for watching 😊
Amazing video!! Your channel seems pretty sweet so I subbed!!👍👍
Thanks! Exams hitting hard but content still flowing 🌊
Yeah I get ya
the shots in this vid are amazing; it's crazy how you're able to get them so clearly
Thanks 😊
Just took out bunch of these parasites out of my angelfish. Expel P and manual removal, hoping for the best
You’ve got this 💪
Not the 40 gallon😞
Yeah…
I'm so sorry
It happens, but never again. Glad I had a platform to teach at the time.
I'm so sorry, Matt. I know how hard it is to lose the fish you built your tank around.
Absolutely crushing. Doesn’t seem to be any parasites in the 75 after months, so there’s my fresh start
Hate what happened to your fish, I know it's heartbreaking.
Thanks. There’s literally nothing left now… idek what to do
So sorry what happened with your fishes ,
*Fish is correct. Not "fishes"
I appreciate your diligence, however I believe that Gilmar is at least partially correct: www.grammarly.com/blog/fish-fishes/
@@MattKeepsFish The evolution of words is too much. Loool
😂
If I was you, I will put all the gravel in the trash , clean the tank very well and buy new substrate and start everything fresh
Yeah, dw, everything’s been dry for more than a week so far
