Can anyone give me info on what to use to fix I guess an internal parasite in my wild festae. The fish are not eating well and when they poop, it is clear and stringy, can anyone help me they have no color and are stariting to become skinny. Please I do not want to loose them , they are in my 300.
 
Where did you get them?

I would put them in a smaller tank and quarantine them with anti parasites.
 
THanks for the info, Can all my other fish get the parasite also, I am worried that I might have to treat the whole big tank, I got them from cichlids of the americas,, Dan has really nice fish just maybe this batch was sick,
 
Treat with metro. Treat the entire tank for 7 days doing a full dose every day as metro degrades fast. You can get 100 g of metro from angelsplus for $13 and that is enough i believe to treat your 300 for 7 days.

sent from my TI85 during chemistry class
 
is there an update on the sick festae? i got some from coa about 10 days ago.. came in with pinched bellies and haven't eaten yet.. treating w metro and clout..
