Unfortunately I believe Eddie has come down with internal parasites. He has white stringy poo and no eating he tries to but then spits it back out.
Whats the best method of treatment that won't break the bank or cause me to have to import from the usa. I've been recommended to use prazin p but that seem like it only treats external parasites.

Any and all info is appreciated thank you.


II do daily water changes but the drop down menu wouldn't allow me to select that.

My water change schedule is a daily change of 20/30% not weekly as it states above

Your in the UK right? Look into Kusuri discus wormer. Inject it into a piece of food for best results.
What have you been feeding your FH?

I am yes. ill look into that but I don't think it will help hes basically refusing a food but willing to try. He's mainly fed hikari gold and hikari excel and krill every now and then but mainly a pellet diet.

NLS Hex shield also does the trick but would be hard to feed if he isn’t eating.

Your FH ailment is not uncommon in flowerhorns. CZ clear injected into him should work. It’s metronidazole and probably an antibiotic like tetracycline. This is a different treatment from dewormer

The OP might have a hard time sourcing CZ clear in the Uk.
