I got a question.

If the little wound heals on his head fully but he is still pooping clear how should i proceed?
Reason I ask is, he spot seems to be doing good and is healing up nicely. I suspect it won't be more than a few weeks and it will look like it never existed. But he is really not enjoying the NLS hex shield but is tolerating it to some degree. I just don't know if its going to be enough to fully wipe the parasite out of his gut.

It metro the only way?

The Epson salt soaked food treatment I did for 5 days clearly didn't work either. So I am unsure how would I proceed?

what are the odds of me inserting nls hex shield pellets inside some other food like raw fish or shrimp (small chunks)? He might be too good at eating that he will taste it and spit it out.

I am noticing that alot of the medicated food pellets is being broken down in his mouth far more than any other food I feed him usually. Like he is almost separating the parts of it he likes vs doesn't like.

Also since I never fed him raw fish he may not even go for it but its the only thing I can think of that would be big enough to sneak in a bunch of pellets.
 
If he will eat from the surface you can try what Tarheel suggested, presoaking your pellets of choice in a metro solution. You could also try adding metro to a gel food, which I am pretty sure I already mentioned.
 
Started doing the daily methylene blue baths today. It went well. I. Doing the 50ppm bath for 10 seconds as advices on the bottle. He was not happy with me but day one is done.

Just not sure how many days I should go for. I would assume any bacterial infection or whatever is going to be killed off after a few baths right?

Would a bath a day for a week be excessive?
