Green terror still sick

Praziquantel & metro combination is an effective cure. API General Cure or Tetra Parasite gard are both effective. Remember when feeding GTs it is important to have a good amount of vegitable matter in their diet. They don't digest meaty foods as effectivly as some other cichlids do and are more like Africans as far as feeding is concerned. NLS Thera +A is and excelent staple for them, it contains a higher level of garlic which is benificial in keeping the gut flora where it needs to be. A lot of times with these guys the trouble is a bloom of bacteria in the gut caused by meat based foods spending too much time in the intesinal tract as it is diffacult for them to digest. This presents as a bloated or an ematiated condition however still produces the stringy white poop and is often confused with IPs. It is important to mention here shrimp and bloodworms can also give the apperance of white stringy poop coming out. I just mention this as it is useful information going foward. GL HTH.

I also wanted to add Omega One Super Veggi Pellets is an excelent dietary supplement too.
 
Thanks aqua. I will look into this. I was feeding my by some aqueon pellets to get rid of the bag and it has kelp and spirulina I think so I thought it would be ok. I have been trying to feed nls but she just won't eat right now. :( I will pick up some veggie pellets today and see whats available medicine wise.
