Is this a internal parasite infection?

[Scorpio99]

Have you tested your water?

Yes

If yes, what is your ammonia?

20ppm

If I did not test my water...

...I recognize that I will likely be asked to do a test, and that water tests are critical for solving freshwater health problems.

Do you do water changes?

Yes

What percentage of water do you change?

31-40%

How frequently do you change your water?

Every week

If I do not change my water...

...I recognize that I will likely be recommended to do a water change, and water changes are critical for preventing future freshwater health problems.

Your Ammonia should ideally be 0.
I assume you meant 2.0 ppm
Which is pretty high.
The white stringy poo could be a sign of parasites.

What happened to ur other post? Please clarify ur water numbers for us. Get some water changes going. I’d separate for now in a hospital tank. Try feeding some hex shield and adding some Epsom salt to the tank, 1 tbsp per 5g. May have to soak in some garlic to stimulate an appetite. Also add triple sulfa. Gotta keep the water clean if separating the fish.

I had 20ppm nitatres in my tank, I have done a 50 percent water change and have separated the sick fish. Have added epsom salt to the hospital tank and now I feeding all my fish pellets with metroplex and focus. How long should I keep the separated fish in epsom salt?

Keep separated till the poop changes color and has put on some size.

How frequently should I change the water in the hospital tank and should I add epsom salt Everytime I do a water change?

I’d change it if the water starts to get bad. Wouldn’t add anymore Epsom salt.
