WEll i'm afraid my african tank has come down with internal parasites. One of my female peacocks died about 2 months ago and it stopped eating and was dead the next day. Well last week i noticed my other female peacock didn't eat and the next day it was also dead.She did show a bit of a skinny tummy but i didn't think anyhtign of it as she looked fine and was eating well before this.
I have also noticed white stringy poo when cleaning out my tank last time but wasn't too concend and it didn't occur to me that is was parasties becuase my fish were all doing well at that time. WEll now i'm concerned and don't want anymore of my fish to die.
I"m planning on treating the whole tnak of internal parasites and would like to know the best method to do so. I have Metronidazole and anti parasitic flakes(made by tetra) and also discomed. I tried feeding the tetra parasite flakes and pellets soaked in teh discomed but the fish didn't eat them and spit them all out. I"m going to try treating the tanks water with Metronidazole, is this a good med for internal parasites? it says it can be added right into the water but i tired mixing it up in a cup before and found it didn't really disolve completely, does anyone else have this problem.
So basically,after listening to my long ramble, I'm wondering how you guys treat internal parasites and if i have the right meds?
