Hey guys, have a question for you which I have never dealt with in the 3 years of being in the sw hobby. I recently got a baby Titan Trigger from a lfs, and I believe he has some internal parasites because his stomache looks bloated all the time, even if he hasn't been fed in 15 hours. All my other triggers are fine and all other fish in the tank he is in are fine. So how is the best way to get rid of internal parasites. He still eats fine and acts triggerish but is much lazier than all my other triggers combined. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Can't vouch for how effective it is, since this is entirely anecdotal, but many people swear by garlic supplements for internal parasites. It's safe for the tank, since you soak the food in garlic extract (GNC carries this). Not sure if it's just a myth or not--I've seen a few articles suggesting otherwise, but can't vouch for their veracity either. :rolleyes:
