Hi everyone. I have treated my clownfish 3 times with internal parasite medicine and each time, they only eat it fresh when I make it. And they barely eat it even with garlic. Now for the 4th time, I found my female clownfish pooping a inch and a half long white poop. Please help me, I just finished treating them 2 weeks ago, and now I have discovered another poop. I use the seachem focus and metroplex with garlic in the pellets and shrimp. I have picky clownfish who don’t eat shrimp when they are fed shrimp but will eat a bit when I feed my royal gramma and my inverts. But they still go crazy at the top of the tank for pellets. Here’s the picture of my female clownfish pooping.

Might be internal proyozoans. New Life Spectrum Hex Shield that controls the protozoans. High fiber I think helps. I was provide this info the other day for my 6yr old clown.

Ok. Is the new life spectrum like a medicine for it? I’ll do my research on what internal proyozoans are so I don’t batter you with questions. Thanks for letting me know!
