@Humblefish 1more question. I was planning on buying a hermit and a few snails to eat the leftover food from feedings today. Is it safe to add them while I’m medicating or should I wait till my medication regimen is completed?
I used General cure, following this guide. My hermits and cleaner shrimp ate it with no negative effects.
So I used the soaking method for 14 days and it looked like they were good. 3 days ago I started feeding normal food again and today one of the fish had stringy white poop again. I now have a fire shrimp. If I dose the water will the fire shrimp be ok?^^ This
So long as you bind it properly (using Focus, unflavored gelatin or agar), it should be safe.

Oh ok. I’ll keep my eyes peeled for a week or so. If it does end up still being a problem is it safe to treat with the blood shrimp in there?Give it a week before assuming the fish still has internal parasites/worms. Sometimes going back to regular food causes intestinal irritation due to change in diet.

Is binding Thomas Labs Fish Bendazole with seachem focus and food ok to use in display tank with shrimp?You can dose Prazipro with corals/inverts, but not General Cure (which contains praziquantel + metronidazole.) Its the metro I wouldn't use in the presence of corals/inverts.

Awesome. Thank you.
@fLajNuT What ever happened with this? I fed food soaked GC for 14 days prophylactically in QT and after stopping and going to regular food one of my Anthias has white stringy poop. Did it end up going away for your fish?So I used the soaking method for 14 days and it looked like they were good. 3 days ago I started feeding normal food again and today one of the fish had stringy white poop again.

no it did not work. The fish occasionally have the white stings still. I actually just bought some Thomas labs fish bendazole and am planning to start treatment with food soaking this weekend. I’ll update once treatment is done and observation after is complete in a month or 2.@fLajNuT What ever happened with this?

Ok, I will be curious to know how they do. I put my Anthias back on the food soaked GC food a few days ago and now i dont notice the stringy white poop. I am starting think its a symptom of intestinal parasites but not always a sure sign. HF does did mention that is could happen from changing foods or going from food soaked to non-medicated.

So I’ve been treating for 12 days and have not seen any stringy poo from the clownfish. I came home today and my dartfish has a perfectly circle hole near his stomach behind his pectoral fin. And was lying on the rocks dead with my cleaner shrimp hovering over him. I’m not sure what happened. Not sure if the medicine made him constipated and he burst from the inside or what but not sure. I’m worried my clowns might have an issue now as one seems to be pretty lethargic right now. I’m wondering if I should stop medicine and skip a meal? @Humblefish any suggestions? Wish I could post a video of the clowns.Ok, I will be curious to know how they do. I put my Anthias back on the food soaked GC food a few days ago and now i dont notice the stringy white poop.
