Thanks Bill, but my problem is never getting rid of the stuff to begin with. For example, I resorted to 10 of the $.28 goldfish from Walmart this last time after I had left the tank "cooking" in formaldehyde for two weeks (to kill eggs). I used new gravel, rocks, and plants then added salt to the water for one week after fish were introduced. Two weeks later... you guessed it! So I have been on a parasite battle for a week now (down to three fish). I have the water temp at 82 which is high for the goldfish but I wanted to speed up the cycle. First time I dealt with this parasite I was medicating the water but had forgotten to remove the carbon filter. After a few minutes of feeling REALLY dumb, I began research. Still at a loss, but the frogs and crabs are happy. As a matter of fact I just returned from the pet store (6 more crabs) where the owner and I had a great big laugh over my situation. In fact he said "You can breed fish, identify infections, and remedy situations in large lakes, but can't keep a damn fish alive in 10 gallons of water. Don't tell your customers this!"

By the way Bill, what is up with you answering machine at home? When I hung up I wanted to go outside and rope something!
