Bluemoon Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) Well I lost two fish so far in my battle, looks like the aquariums not fairing so well either. Absolute crippling empathy is all I feel for the biologists at corpus right now. So sad. http://www.discovery.com/dscovrd/wildlife/texas-aquarium-suffers-devastating-animal-losses-after-medication-backfires/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited April 17, 2015 by Bluemoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mFrame Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 More details in the LA Times article herehttp://www.latimes.com/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-texas-state-aquarium-20150415-story.html The creatures the aquarium was trying to kill were the trematoda parasite, Glover said. "Trematoda is a class within the phylum Platyhelminthes," he said. "It includes two groups of parasitic flatworms, known as flukes. They are internal parasites."

FarmerTy Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Sad day! I wonder if they bought an industrial sized bottle of prazipro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardlaw Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) http://www.advancedaquarist.com/blog/update-on-texas-aquarium-tragedy Last week, we reported on mass fish mortality at Texas State Aquarium due to fluke treatment. In all, 389 fishes ended up losing their lives. The primarily investigation faults a mislabeled container of chemicals supplied by the manufacturer. What should have been Trichlorfon ended up being something completely different. Yikes!

FarmerTy Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 http://www.kiiitv.com/news/local/aquarium-wins-1-million-lawsuit-against-fishman-chemical/329622851 We have an update. Looks like the State Aquarium won a lawsuit against the chemical supplier. Be careful, some reefers were using this company to supply choloroquine phosphate as well for ich, brooklynella, and marine velvet treatment.

Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Wow. Well there's a great example of the importance of quality control in chemical production and distribution. That's so sad that this happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing I made you sign that waiver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiddyORION Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) 1 million? that's it? I'd have advised to sue them into non-existence. Edited October 12, 2016 by GiddyORION Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
