Will Jungle Parasite Clear work to eliminate white stringy poop (internal parasite?)? What's the best medication to use to treat a whole 55 gallon tank?
Jungle Parasite Clear for White Stringy Poop?

Treating a whole 55 gallon is tough. You will have much better results if you can quarantine the fish or fishes to a 10 gallon. I had a ebjd that had the white stringy poop disease. I started with giving him a salt bath and then moving him to a 10 gallon treating with JPC for 6 days, w/cing every day. On the 7th day he began to eat again and on the 9th I moved him back to his 90 gallon home. Good Luck.
Thanks for the advise. I just wanted to treat the whole tank to ensure that all the other fish don't get as well. Plus I don't have a quarentine tank readily availableErikFromNJ;3176248; said:
I'll continue to treat w/ JPC for now. When you indicated salt bath did you use epsom salt or aquarium salt? BTW...what's cing?
Don't do a salt bath, it won't do anything since it's an internal parasite. Keep feeding the jungle food, and then use PraziPro. If you wanted you could even soak the jungle food in prazipro for a little while then feed. But just try a little bit first to make sure the fish like it.
You can try copper treatment but I don't know how well that would work with internal parasites.

White stringy poop can lead to a constipated fish or even bloat. To say a salt bath wont do anything I disagree with being epsom salt is a natural laxitive to a fish. I'd use JPC to treat the parasite and an epsom salt bath to relieve its digestive tract.
''cing'' was ''w/cing'' or water changing. I noticed that if I hadn't done water changes before each treatment my fish tend to do worse.
Anyways I've treated many fish that have had white stringy poop and stopped eating. I've had great success with treating them as outlined above with never a loss of life. They've always recovered.
Good Luck.

I think you guys are talking about 2 different Jungle products... They have "Parasite Clear" fizz-tabs & "Anti-Parasite Medicated Fish Food". The food works great for internal parasites, if you can get them to eat it. I dont know about the Parasite Clear tabs for IP's, but I'm sure it works for external parasites.
I just picked up some prazi-pro as well if the JPC doesn't work for me. I heard great things about this product and I'll try feeding my fish today the jungle anti-parasitic food.
Good luck with the food. I had to starve my Loaches over the weekend to get them to eat it. It should be easier if your fish already eat pellets, though.
Thanks. Yea...I haven't fed my fish anything. I'm hoping the medication and time not feeding them will make his appetite grow. We'll see....JakeH;3179830; said:
