Hi! I've had a pair of Celebes Halfbeaks for a little over 2 weeks now. When I first put them into the tank, they were completely healthy, past some torn fins. Now though both of them have inflammation around the anus and the whole area is generally red. They defecate in thin, white tubes. I believe that they have internal parasites from the dealer. I need to know if there are any anti-parasitic foods you could recommend? And where I could find these foods? I don't want to do a water treatment, as I'd rather have it in the fish. Thanks!

pamethrisol????
btw, Kens , at last check.. sells primarily metronidazole laced foods...while it is effective , technically metrondazole is an anti bacterial . that has proven effects on some parasitic protozoa.
it is often used with Praziquantel , this combo has proven pretty effective at combating many gut issues in fish.

the most effective way to delivery meds is in the food..but in extreme cases the fish may not be eating so it can be used as a bath.
rather than soak the food I prefer to purchase the flake that is already treated.
