Help! My Midas Blenny is in trouble.

You can mix copper + Prazipro in emergency situations. However, being you saw white stringy poop come out of the fish, metronidazole would probably be more beneficial than praziquantel for him. Can you get API General Cure? That contains both metro + prazi; so best of both worlds.

Dang, i just got the prazipro. That's going to have to do. I just can't spend anymore money on this fish.

Prazipro might work; it's certainly worth trying.

I'm sorry Roy, I mixed up the flukes and worms for the intestinal worms...that is my fault.

That's ok, I'm just getting frustrated. I've been dealing with this for a week now, and it doesn't seem tho be getting any better. Its in Gods hands now.

I would have given up on it long ago, but the little guy just keeps fighting. I'm shocked he's lasted this long.

The other day i saw this tiny red thing swimming in my tank. Can you guys tell me what that may have been? It looked like a tiny red fish, could that have been a parasite? Worm?

FWIW; Prazipro does treat tapeworms - and that is an intestinal worm. It's just not as effective as metro when it comes to all the others.

Sounds like a tigger pod.

Do they swim like fish? Are they a good guy or a bad guy?

They propel through the water. Tigger pods are good.

Roy, is there any resemblance between the fish-like creature you saw in your tank and these guys:

Hmm....I wonder where I can get some of this for myself lol

So white stringy poop means parasites right off the bat? I thought it was normal for some fish especially if they eat a lot of shrimp type foods.
