One fish did not make ALL of that poop..And if it did, it is either overfed, or you need to step up the gravel vacs.

i cleaned it up already. lol i just wanted to show you guys what happened from the time i threw the anti parasite tablets in, till about an hour after when i went back to check on my fish, the water became super cloudy and the sand got littered with explosive diarrhea.

i fed the oscar, and jack dempsey each with a frozen swordtail this morning. and some hikari staple for the rest of the fish (the O ate that too). all this took place in the after noon.

its never been paired so eggs can be rulled out. the thing is, the spikes were there for quite a while. and after adding tablets the white stringy poo symptom notorious for diagnosing a parasite occured in my oscar today. apart from the load of normal poop in the tank already.

Still think its camallanus. They are commonly transmitted through feeding live foods such as black worms, insect larvae, and daphnia which are intermediate hosts. You need to treat with Panacur (febendazole) in a food at the rate of 1 percent of med by weight of the food, or by using the 10 percent liquid suspension. Since most commonly its found in teh 10% solution, the standard dose is 10% by volume in food. Often you have to get this med from a vet.
