cleaning pond - eliminating parasite eggs?
Comments (8)I did a prazi routine 2x, 7 days each. I was going to get them in the pond and then maybe do one more prazi treatment out there but the weather has been so horribly cold and wet I havent gotten them out. I decided I just do NOT want to wreck my algae/bacteria ecosystem by using PP on it. I fed them food soaked in prazi for7 days because I was paranoid about tape worms - havent seen any white pieces lately so who knows. The remaining fish look fine, better than they have in years. The ones with white, their white is much whiter - they probably had body flukes as well. They actually started looking better that very same night I started treatment- that was the day I saw them ALL at the surface with their gills flapping - I did a radical water change of about 90% and even then they seemed better, then added the prazi, and the next morning they were swimming around seemingly happy and normal. WHEW.... I am still seeing the occasional long threadlike, wormlike thing (clear) so who knows. Someone may have calmarus (sp????) worms... which requires a different treatment). What I find kind of frustrating is that with flukes, they take much longer to hatch at cold temps rather than at warm temps. No where could I find any kind of info about how long the intervals might be at different temperatures. IE if my water temps are 50, then what would the hatching interval be? I treated 7 days apart, but it could be that I still missed the next batch of eggs hatching. They might hatch out at 65 and then I'll have a mess all over again. If anyone's looking for a science project, that would be a good one to do!...See MoreWhat kind of eggs on my chard?
Comments (1)Not eggs, but the frass from whatever is chewing your chard. Also called poop, doo-doo, caterpillar doodie, etc. Wash your hands. ;-)...See MoreWhat kind of eggs are these?
Comments (1)I believe frogs lay eggs in roundish clumps, while toads lay eggs in strings. The picture appears to be clumps of eggs, so it may be a frog. Toad tadpoles ("toadpoles") are solid black. Frog tadpoles are bigger and are shades of greenish, brown, and may be speckled....See Morewhat kind of eggs are these? white and flat
Comments (7)Hmmm. I only get error message from that link. But, instead of an Australian insect, how about considering a US resident -- various common names are flower fly, hover fly, and syrphid fly. Here's an account that includes an image of an egg alongside an aphid and various cast skins. http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/NE/syrphid_flies.html Here is a link that might be useful: syrphid fly -- at UC...See Moresultry_jasmine_nights (Florida-9a-ish)
