Green Terror With White Stringy Feces

[Allison2012]

I'm having the same problem with my green terror as well, though mine is approximately 6-7 inches. Everything about him appeared normal except about five days ago he became anorexic and just yesterday I noticed his feces is white.

He is currently in a quarantine tank and has had one treatment of Parasite Guard by Tetra as of yesterday and I plan to repeat the treatment again tomorrow.

I went to my LFS where I was told that this medication should help, if not there is the Epsum salt that I was told works really well (which you mentioned that you've tried). There is also Metro+ which I've read works well.


Good Luck!

Well, he's on his third day of the treatment and I think he's pretty much done for. Yesterday, I thought I saw an improvement as I couldn't see any stringy mess. But when I got up this morning, he had a few inches of waste stuck to him and he was hiding under a log - he NEVER does this. I'll continue the treatment for as long as he's hanging in there but I'm preparing for the worst. If anyone has any suggestions, now's the time.

Better late than never, I thought I'd better post an update. He pulled through and his appetite has fully returned! Thanks to all who gave their input.
Cheers
