White threads coming out of clownfish

[bubbbble]

Hi guys, I’m new to this. I’ve recently set up a new tank and has gotten a pair of clown fish. This is the 3rd day and I’ve realise a white string like thread coming out from both of them. I’ve read that prazigold could help but I’m also thinking if I could use Seachem Paraguard. And if I were to use Seachem paraguard, do I have to use it in a separate tank or could I just dip in the current tank and do a water change after 1 week? It’s just my clownfish and a damselfish in the tank. No corals yet.

Paraguard is not what it claims to do and please post video of at least 20 seconds under white light intensity

Hey, it just fell off so I’m unable to show it anymore. If it happens again I’ll definitely snap a photo. In the meantime, is there any solution to this? The water seems to be a little cloudy as well.

Hey, it just fell off so I’m unable to show it. If it do happens again, I’ll definitely send it here. If paraguard is not gonna work, do you have any other suggestions?

Thats feces and likely with mucus. Often you will see this if you are feeding mysis shrimp, brine shrimp or both

I see. The fish store that I’ve got them from must have been feeding them mysis shrimp or brine shrimp. Which is probably why they’re not eating as I’ve been giving them small pellets. Is there any solution to this?
