Can I use metronidazol with fry in the tank? Are there any alternatives if not? My male Jag has some white poo that I'm concerned about. He also hasn't been eating as well as he was. Suggestions please.
 
I do not see a problem using it but I would start out with a low dose and do a gradual increase.
 
As a followup - Jungle Internal Parasite Guard has been in the tank for 24 hours with no ill effect to the fry so far. Hopefully it will do the trick. Thanks to all who posted.
 
Fry are doing fine with this treatment. 3 day treatment period and no problems. My male Jag is looking better as well. I'm really surprised that very few people could give matter-of-fact information on a fry safe medication. I like to update posts like this so the next person who is searching for this answer may not need to take a shot in the dark.
