internal parasite medicine

can i dose my entire tank with the thinking that 'if one has it they all do' or isolate the one or two that i think def may have them.

with parasites i would personally treat the whole tank. i would say mor than just one or two of your fish are affected.

I've used that orange gel tec stuff. It's supposed to be eaten by smaller fish, but I inject it into food for larger fish. I've got some syringes available if you need 'em.

well im going to see what petsmart has to offer in the way of parasite meds. i have heard good things about jungle internal parasites medication. I am worried about using it if they end up not havng it. what will be the effect?

 

[rallysman]

what fish are you treating??

 

[jworth]

well mainly my paratalapia and peacock bass but other residents are florida gar, clown loaches, and silver dollars

 

[rallysman]

how big? gotta be kind of careful with the loaches. They might be sensitive to it (like they are with everything else lol)

 

[jworth]

well i was just worried about how safe it is. i can move the loaches if need be. but i really want to get everyone else healthy ASAP.
