external parasite?

[nhelements]

hello everyone, I am looking for a safe med for external parasites for my ray/discus tank any suggestions?

I hear adding garlic to the food/tank will help take care of internal and external parasites, Im thinking it would be alright for the ray, but not 100% anyone else think this is ok?

I think we had a heated debate about Garlic use and it's actual effects.. It does very little against parasites, only due to the fact that the fish can only consume in small dosages..

Maybe Metro or Prazi?

I belive that metro and Prazi are more for internal parasites....?

I think you're right, but if you look at the ingredients of the 'Parasite Clear' type medications that treat both internal and external, they have a mixture of both.

Clout is good, but I am unsure if I would use it on Stingrays.

Depends on the parasite,I guess..
