Wild caught plecos and internal parasites?

Post by bernt »

Iâ??m getting a lot of different plecos from Brazil tomorrow. Of course, Iâ??m planning to quarantine them, but Iâ??m wondering if I have to treat them for internal parasites? I think I read somewhere that â??almost every wild caught plecos have internal parasitesâ?

OK, thanks. I think I just keep the fish in quarantine for some time and see how theyâ??re doing.
