I am not sure if my fish have a parasite or not, but it seems like sometimes they have stringy white poo and other times they dont. Sometimes they start of stringy and white and then gets thicker and brown as more poo comes out. Any recommendations of medications i can soak the pellets in to get rid of any possible parasites? These fish are expensive and very dear to me! Or any good medicated food i can feed them that they will actually eat? Please let me know as i want to go out today and get it!
 
Are they eating well? If so, the white stringy poo is possibly only mucous membrane of their intestines being expelled. It's not something to be concerned of unless the fish stops eating and becomes listless. If you're worried, get praziquantel and metronidazole powder and mix them with frozen foods. Flagyl should do it.
 
Hey,
Yes they are eating very well, I was just concerned! Can i crush up Jungle parasite clear tables and use them to mix with the food?
