tapeworm, signs?

[bluehairman]

i think my fish might have tapeworm but im not 100%
in the past 3 months most of my fish have gotten skinny and died. and now my jack dempsey's stomach kind of curves, i cannot remember if he was like this when i bought him 2 weeks ago. my other fish have no signs on this, but my oscar had clear stringy feces with a little piece on the end tan colored. i scooped him up and it fell off and i took it out of the tank.. i have pellets for tapeworm, should i use it?

Pellets? Is this medicated food? What are the active ingredients of it? You want to use flubendazole or levamisole hydrochloride to cover a wide range of internal parasites. Ask your vet for levamisole hydrochloride as most states restrict its use and availability.

Yes it is medical food. It's called anti parasite and is made by jungle
