The tank I have is a 55 gallon, running off of two magnum 350 canisters. Readings are:
Ammonia: 0 ppm
Nitrite: 0 ppm
Nitrate: 5 ppm
pH: 8.2
I managed to catch a picture of my acara with this strange mix of clear poop, along with brown poop at the end. Sorry for the picture quality. I am on day two of a mix of Seachem metro/Epsom Salt added to their food in the morning (all my fish appear very healthy and are eating fine). Then at night i feed them again with food soaked in just an Epsom salt solution. I plan on using the Epsom salt for 5 days like this and the Metro for 7 days total. Is this the proper plan of action for this problem or is something else causing this? Im worried these internal parasites will stunt the growth of the entire tank and slowly waste away my fish.
