ok, long story short
8 wilds in a 450gal, with some big fish
1 of them began not eating, and in a tank this large, i couldnt really identify its poop too well --- over the past 2 days, one of the larger discus also became more timid (darker) and i finally saw some white poop
i almost positive it wasn't a worm, but just a long white segmented poop
my plan is to pick up some prazi and metro and see what happens....
good idea?
ill be putting them into a bucket (yes a bucket) or a smaller tank if i find one
and bumping the temp into the 90's and aerating a lot
also, given the fish were "clean" before i got them, where did the internal parasites come from? my larger fish? water conditions? etc? (by "clean" i mean in other tanks for 5-6 months with no issue and had been treated before)
thanks guys....
im super green when it comes to fish meds - have never had to use them before so thanks for any advice
