I have a coral beauty in a 10 gal Qt or about 10 day. I started The first round of prozipro on day 3. The fish was eating the small amount of food I was putting in the tank. After the third day of prozipro I found what’s depicted in the picture. I immediately started metro + focus and after day 5 I started another round of prozipro. I’m still finding string like poop in the tank. It’s about 1 inch I’m length or smaller. How long should I expect to find this before the fish is cured.

You can feed metro + Focus + food once every day for up to 3 weeks or until the white stringy poo goes away.

I prefer to use General Cure as it has both prazi + metro. Can also add a dash of plain USP epsom salt to the mix to help the fish pass the dead worms/parasites.
