Redtail Tamarin Wrasse White Stringy Poop

[JoshKReef]

As the subject states, I have a redtail tamarin with white stringy poop. My dilemma is that he doesn't eat anything except live pods I dose into the QT, so I can't GC soak food.

I haven't seen much about how to handle internal parasites/worms on a fish that isn't eating, but does the normal GC dose into the water column handle this?

1 pouch per 10gallons, redose after 48 hours, water change / carbon after another 48 hours?

Would that knock it out that quickly, or do I need to do this a bunch?

It likely has internal parasite. Treat with PraziPro which should cure internal issue

By the bottle or the normal fluke regimen?

Hmm...I'm currently trying to see how the internal parasite meds (GC + Focus) can be gut loaded into brine shrimp nauplii, and I know I posted about it in this forum a bit ago. So far, I know that at least one of my fish is healthy, given by the sheer amount of fecal pellets (and not stringy poop) that the fish have shed today, but I cannot conclusively say if its just a healthy fish or due to the internal meds + BBS.

Is GC a garlic product? Marine fish drink tank water, so prazipro will help if the problem is a fluke or turbellarian. Trouble is the issue could also be protozoan or bacterial.

GC is API general cure. It's prazi and metro
