Hello I bought my little discuses some black worms and low and behold their feces are comming out stringy, so I think I have a parasite in the tank. I have added Metronidazole to the water, raised the temp to 90, changed the water, etc. However I am trying to get them to eat food mixed with garlic, and they won't touch it. Any suggestions?
 
Epsom salts to purge

Before metro, it is good to add epsom salts to the tank to clean out their gut. Sometimes that is enough to get them better. I think it is 1 tablespoon per 10 gallons.
