Chromis uncoordinated

ThunderGoose · Apr 7, 2019

I've had my chromis for about a year now. She's been active, she grown a lot and then yesterday she quit being coordinated, has some stringy white poop and didn't eat (for the first time).

I'm setting up a hospital tank this morning and will start treating with Prazi in her water and food.

I have 2 questions. 1. Do I need to treat the display tank? Is that safe for inverts and corals? And 2. Since I treated the chromis when she came in with Prazi should I use a different medication? A longer treatment?

Thanks

Since I know someone will ask - I'll check parameters later today but I just did a Triton test a week ago and the results are all within normal parameters except iodine, which is low.

No new fish, inverts or corals in the past several months.

Tank is 2 1/2 years old.

I DO have a mantis shrimp in the DT, it's been there for a year and hasn't been a problem for any fish, except MAYBE my watchman goby who disappeared over the winter.

White stringy poop is indicative of intestinal parasites or worms.

If you add general cure + focus to frozen food you can feed in DT.
