agreed. hex, much like ich, can persist in an aquarium environment but not cause the inhabitants any harm. That is if the immune systems of the fish are strong enough to keep them from gaining a foothold. I was unaware that metro only inhibited hex rather than actually completely treating it, but nevertheless it is still your best bet in dealing with the infection.

Absolutely agree.

Here you go, RD. has been around for a long time and has knowledge that far surpasses all of ours. I would just read his posts and make a decision from that.

If this was my fish, I would feed NLS hex shield and treat the tank with prazi. I don't know what your fish has, if it has anything at all. What are you feeding it, how long have you had it, what temp is the water?

^Agreed.

Whats the best medicine to treat it assuming it's an internal parasite? It has to be safe for young fish and crawdads.

Metro and prazi didn't do sh*t for my flowerhorns when I had them imported. Get CLEAR by cz Aqua from all4fish.com Its the best.

Since that day I haven't seen anymore stringy poop. So I'm not sure what's going on with that but it doesn't seem like a problem now. Even though it could still be just internally and it's not showing now
