QT for internal parasites

[maxwell50]

Hi all ,

I wanted to see what people do for QT for internal parasites. I want to add new fish and I lost few fish in past due to stringy white poop and fish stopped eating. I want to see if there’s a method to QT to make sure all internal parasites die.

Internal Issues

Internal Issues For simplicity’s sake, there are 6 basic problems a marine fish may experience on the inside: 1. Intestinal worms Symptoms: White stringy feces, pinched stomach, loss of color, fish eats voraciously but still seems to be losing weight. Treatment of choice: Praziquantel...

tl;dr
Using a shot glass:
1 scoop (~ 1/8 teaspoon) of medication (Metroplex or General cure)
1 scoop Seachem Focus (this makes it reef safe)
1 tbsp food (preferably pellets or frozen food)
A pinch of Epsom salt to help expel dead worms/parasites
A few drops of saltwater or fish vitamins
Stir until a medicated food slurry has been achieved
Feed after soaking for 30 mins
Refrigerate or freeze any leftovers for future use.
You can feed this mix 1-2 times per day. Not recommend to exceed 2 feedings per day with medicated food.

Treatment can last a minimum of 10 days up to 3 weeks

I recommend general cure as it has both prazi and metro in it
