Treating and Feeding.

[Jackyx]

Hi guys.

My poly got some worms on em and i am currently treating them in a hospital tank.
Think it takes atleast 3 days to clear them?
My main question is, is it ok not to feed em for the duration of the treatment or its ok for me to feed em?
Sorry for the nub question as i am still kinda new to the hobby and still learning. =)
Already got a med from my LFS and just forgotten to ask that question =P.

Thanks alot

Could we get pics of the infected poly? As for not feeding, I wouldn't worry too much about it they can last without a meal for a long time. You said they had worms ON them right? No intestinal parasites? Any idea what kind of worm? What are you using to treat it?

Edit: It's generally considered a good idea to add a small amount of aquarium salt to the quarantine tank to help prevent secondary infections and help kill any more parasites.
