after two months, one of my hysterix is pooping funny and eating less, its the male. the other two eat like crazy,and the motoro is fine. they still only eat earthworms, which i bought from a place in PA. its after that i switched from my yard worms to these the male got the symptoms of parasites.i jusy want to know what to get and where to get it?
 
the wierd pops are cuased by stress due to water .maybe not water quality issues ,,,rather maybe just adjustment/acclimatization issues. i find when the ph changes rays get wierd poops too.

worms should make their poops really solid though.

keep a close eye on it.no need to medicate just yet. the rays judging on the very short post is more than likely a new export. if its eating dont medicate . at least for now! keep feeding it.vary its diet and monitor it.give it time dude.its eating.why fix something that isnt broken?? i know some guys thrive to medicate "when in doubt prazi" but its eating,sounds like you obviously know what your doing so just wait it out.
 
Like Calgaryflames said, keep an eye on them.
If the problem keeps up, you can use Prazi Pro.

Thats the ONLY med i would even think about using on my rays. I dont like meds in any of my tank, but sometimes its a must to help out.
I usually get it on ebay due to i cant find a shop around here that keeps it in stock. So I find it on ebay for around $7.50 for a 1oz bottle.

Keep us informed.
 
Thanks , the water quality is the same as it was when i first got them. decent.Its good that the male is stil eating, but not as much as the two females?/I just like to chart and watch what im doing and anyone else who bought from the same batch.
