Any idea what is it? Something white coming from the fish.
 
Probably an intestinal parasite. You can either hospitalize the fish with prazi or my preferred method, soak some food in prazi and add some garlic supplement etc. to make it more appetizing. Feed the whole tank like this for a month.
 
I cannot find a Prazi in Canada, any alternative?
 
Wait- before assuming internal parasite-
Are you by chance feeding it Mysis and Brine shrimp? If so, any other foods?

+1
Or LRS, Rod's or other meaty foods?

Hard to tell from the video, but is it a white poop strand? Could just be a bit of 'constipation' from a high-protein diet.

If I'm not mistaken, the white strings caused by internal parasites tend to be a lot longer than that...

I would definitely wait to get a few more opinions before jumping straight to medicating.
 
As for canada medication which i know is a challenge, you can use acroflavine, formalin such as ruby rally pro Or Quick Cure by API.
Internal parasites are endoparasites and are very treatable. Generally when there is internal parasites, fish will shimmy, have reduced appetite and either fast or very slow breathing.
 
Yes, I'm feeding it with Brine and Mysis every day.
Thats likely your answer as fish with internal issues will shimmy their body, fast or slow breathing and not apt to eat.

Add to the foods:
sm plankton
LRS Fish Frenzy
Formula 1
oyster

Hey. I live in Canada. Ask a Girl friend to FINALLY make that online appointment with a doctor. Tell her to complain of painful pelvic pain that tends to sometimes reoccur. Ask for Metronidazole tabs...tell her to tell them it works best.

Boom --- got your hands on some Metro.
 
I’m going to try this

do you think prazipro is safe to put in foods? Also can it heal on its own?
 
I dont think its sick. Prazi placed in tank - Not foods
