Alot of these say to remove the filter do u do that or just put it in with water changes ?
@Michael Gusmini alright thanks for the help
How can I treat my community tank for horsehair worms? Noticed them in some ghost shrimp that came in a few weeks ago.
QUAD FLAKE and PraziPro/General Cure... GGs Worms... Still do the process 3 times... but the quad flakes are amazing! Also the Trio Flakes are amazing.
As I am a complete newbie to fish keeping hobby so was just wondering how to treat for intestinal parasites etc. for small tropical freshwater fish which are around only 2cm- 4cm being the largest size in my 18.5-20 US Gallon fish tank or 70 litre which I have.
As I had my firsh tank/ aquarium set up for over 1 year or around 1.5 years doing fishless cycling method and having growing out some live plants using Fritz Zyme 7 live nitrifying bacteria and for natural ammonia using Fritz zyme fishless fuel. According to my local pet store/ fish store they said my fish tank water was very well cycled and very good consistent water parameters except that my water PH being slightly high at 7.6 and also quite high water hardness but other than that completely good.
I have quite a lot of live beginner aquarium plants covering nearly my whole aquarium and the fish I have are 5 small red cherry barbs, 2 bright and wonderful Yellow Honey Gourami and 2 beautiful black/ greyish colour Dwarf Suckermouth Catfish/ Otto which are very much like plecos (Latin name: Otocinclus. sp.) As they only tend to stick to the sides of my glass fish tank or on top of ornaments or my live plants.
As for regarding health generally majority of the fish look very nice, vibrant colour and swimming around well however one of the red Cherry barb is looking quite sluggish or at least down at the bottom of the fish tank by himself and not eating much mostly unlike the other community fish or possibly something red sticking out of it's underside belly lile bloat possibly??? I have also one of catfish I noticed strangely just started yesterday white stringy poop coming out as it was swimming around which if correct according to my research/ knowledge is obvious sign of intestinal parasites etc. Other than that all my other fish such as my 2 Yellow Honey Gourami are completely fine and seem to be very healthy and doing very well, looking fine and eating well etc.
Any useful information/ tips and advice would be very helpful and greatly appreciated. As obviously unlike in this wonderful RUclips video I obviously can't treat fish individually by taking them out of the fish tank and lying them flat on a towel etc. as my fish are way too small. Also unfortunately as I don't have enough money I only have 1 fish tank so no other separate fish tank to use as a hospital tank to treat the fish that maybe looking sick in my opinion individually.
As recommended by Kaveman Aquatics RUclips channel I have been using since I bought my fish (not bought all at once obviously) using Seachem stability and Seachem Prime and Seachem Flouish Advance for my live plants.
Thank you,
Kind regards,
Tom from UK.
I get all my information from aquarium co op, kg tropicals, and prime time aquatics, and girl talks fish
I’m not too keen on KG. Guess not my style.
@@Notevenone same. They constantly push their sponsored products whether or not they are actually good products. It’s pretty clear they are in it just for the money
Let's not forget MD tanks (plant info)
You should eat a cookie
KG always takes so long too explain
Thank you to all the aquarium co op team ! Great video as always 👍
Corey has made a video on fixing every disease, so helpful
Always good info! Thanks Cory 👍
Awesome content! Love 'More Aquarium Co-Op'!
I've been battling internal parasites with my first guppies I've every owned. Absolutely devastating to lose a one every few days until I figured it out. Aquarium Coop, Girl Talks Fish, and Greg Sage's videos really helped me! Thank y'all so much! Remaining guppies are doing great!
I have 20 guppy there are skinny and not eating 1 or2 die every week. Will this medications help? Pls help
@@jacksonvang2946 I know it’s 3 months later but yes. Did you end up treating yours?

Thanks Cory very helpful watching you from Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks Cory can’t get that over here in the uk but I’m still watching lol merry Christmas
Thanks for the information very informative..
Thank you once again Cory for bringing clarity to my hobby
He really does. He speaks to the everyday person, not all scientific. But when he does he makes it easy to understand
Very helpful thank you-
Another course in Ichthyology on internal bacteria and parasites was is it and how the treat and care for you fish during the process. Great information for those that truly care for their fish, by extending the life of their fish and making the fish's life better because of the process.
Thank you!
Great imfo thanks
Thank you so much for the video! I bought some paracleanse, applied it, now my black moor is doing fine again. Awesome.
Great background tank!
Thanks. My Endlers always seem to get re-infected somehow. Now I'll treat 3 times instead of two.
That is for the great info
Great video
Thanks!
Thanks
I use this stuff in all my new fish and never once ever had a parasite issue.
Good to know
Thx
I know this isn't the case, but I feel like cory read my post on the forum about internal parasites and then posted this video.🤪🤣 What a coincidence. Thanks for the info.
Sassy probably read your post and told him about it. She's real good at that.
What happened? I have a 60 gallon Community fish that's got "I Think" are internal parasites?? My Cory's have shrunken to little tiny tiny ones, Molly literally just has a top fin due to wheen I got him 4 months ago etc two Rainbows Dwarf Gourami Kribensis Cichlid in the tank? I did the Focus Metroplex and Kanaplex concoction in pellats and NOTHING changed.... PLEASE ANYONE help
Any medication suggestions for us Canadians? Your videos are so helpful, but it’s difficult to find some of the products you guys are able to use!
Can I treat with this and e.m.erythromycin at the same time? I have corydoras in the tank also?
Good afternoon
I hope everything doing well and thank you for the vídeo… I have a question, I’ve treated 2 of my fish in my hospital tank because their pooped turned out to be white because of parasites. I already finish the treatment but One of my fish still doesn’t want to eat and is very skinny but still alive. Today I did the 25% water change. Do I need to wait 2 weeks to do the treatment again or i can do it now ???… and also in my regular tank I still have one clownfish and one angel but today the ángel doesn’t want to eat can i do the treatment on my regular tank and the shrimps and snail going to be ok ?
What would u do for Camallanus would this work?
Hi Cory! I've noticed my black Molly fish have white rice looking stool. Not long and stringy. Is that mormal.? Input please?
What’s good to use to treat gill flukes?
At the moment I'm running API general care. If I don't notice any help should I try this? If so how long should I waite tell after the API treatment
Would it cause cloudy water in a new tank that you added as QT tank ?
Can you ship the ParaCleanse medication to Canada ? Enjoyed your video.
I got a powder brown tang he is rubbing on the pvc in QT am useing Prazipro now what you think?
Your videos are always some of the most uaeful and informative. I've noticed some symptoms in a peacock grudgeon, but is this nedication affective on Capillaria amd is it safe for snails or should I remove my nerite snails before treating?
Read the label..
Is it safe for scaleless fish and shrimp and plants? Im currently treating one of my otocinclus in the main tank by using medicated algea wafer that soaked in metroplex, focus and garlic guard.. all the ottos are eating it, but the shrimps are so curious .. lost one of them this morning. 😩
Is this (and the entire quarantine trio) safe for fry? My new guppies gave birth within a week of receiving them during observation. They’re still in the quarantine tank. I bought 2 strains. One strain has thicker, darker output. The other strain has much skinnier, longer, pinkish output.
My glo danios stoped eating and are getting skinny then die one after another. My water perimeters are great. I also hgave a bristlenose pleco and planted tank. What could it be and what should I use?
Does anyone know where a PDF download of the directions are? The label won't peel open, so that I can read the directions.
How well does this product work for ich…..
I wish I could get this in the uk.
Just had platys starting to die off. This is coming at the perfect time! Thank you!
Did it work? I’m having the same issue. Had a few fish start dying of bloat but water is fine. I do see a lot of scratching and I’ve seen some white poop. Hoping this works! 🤞🏼
@@royr2854 If tapeworms , will work...
Is paracleanse effective for sunkin belly?
Can you ship this one in canada?
Would this method work for ram snails?
Hey Cory, should I worry about medicating/de-worming a schoutedeni puffer I purchased a year ago? It has been doing great with no signs of illness, but I never de-workmed it when I first bought it.
If it ain't broke don't fix it
Hi there do you think this is gonna work for anchor worm goldfish? I need help i lost one big goldfish already 😢 now there is another sick
Would metroplex work just as good as paracleanse?
Will parasite medication harm the nerite snails in my aquarium, since snails are very similar to parasites?
What does healthy poop look like? I've noticed red looking strings of poop with a few guppies. Thanks from Bend Or
Do you feed in the first week of medication? I have just done this with my pea puffer and need to know if I feed her! Please help!!
In my community tank, I have shrimp, dwarf African claw frogs and snails, as well as fish. Will this med be safe to dose in a community tank like mine? Thank you
I had just started a General Cure treatment for my new pea puffers and unfortunately one died during the first treatment. She wasn't eating so I'm wondering if she had some kind of parasite and we didn't get it in time. Thanks for the helpful wisdom!
Common with especially wild caught puffers... our big P*tco store sells sick puffers with no meds. hope it changes soon. They apparently don't even carry internal parasite meds, when I asked. (Hawaii)
They carry a gazillion water conditioners. (yeah, great).
I may post a vid... What to buy Before you get fish...
-thank God for the Co-op... but, was still too late for 2 out of 3 fish.
They ate... and got skinny and stressed... eventually too weak to eat. :(
The 3rd GS Puffer got thru Ich-X meds and now Para-cleanse, doing great!
May use this with all my fish in my tank even baby fish ?? Ottos and pleco platties and a betta ? Is it safe for all ???
My fish have internal parasites, im from the UK None of the meds recommended by Cory are available here, any suggestions to treat them?
His 2 big favorites... Ick-X...and (external / internal) Para-Cleanse... or API General Cure...
Find the ingredients online for those products. Europe has fish meds.
Hi, Can I treat Platies with the ParaCleanse and anti-parasitic medicine?...Thanks in advance.aaa
Do I need to set up a quarantine tank or can I treat the whole tank
Bought some Firemouths from LPS that said they "treat their fish" 2 weeks ago and now one of my Oscars is layin on the bottom of the tank not eating and it looks like she has the white stringy poop for the last 2 days. My fault for not quarantining the new fish, just ordered paracleanse today so I can dose the whole aquarium when it comes in. Should've quarantined the Firemouths in my smaller tank, but made the mistake of listening to the seller and now one the fish are suffering for my own ignorance. Will not be making that mistake again.
Mine doesn’t like eat at all I’ve only ever seen it eat 2 separate times other than that it just sits around on the bottom or hides behind structure. Any idea?
This has made me feel so much better about treating my flowerhorn. He passed so man worms after 5 minutes of adding medication and is now acting so much happier. Thank you
I want to treat my large common pleco! I’ve had him for over 10 years, he’s 14 inches long and I love him 😢I hope it works
I believe my fish (glo tetra) is suffering from swim bladder. He is not thriving, very skinny compared to other like fish. He is swimming very erratic and he floats to the bottom. He will actual lay on the bottom of the tank. I hate seeing him like this. I’ve treated with kanaplex and aquarium salt (not at the same time) It seem to work at first but then he starts swimming erratic again. I feel really bad because I don’t know if he is suffering. I don’t know what else to do? Please help us 😢
can i use ParaCleanse in general just in case they have parasites? Just to be safe?
One of my fish has red gills on one side and on the other the gills look like there missing scales or something. And another keeps staying in one spot and it's poop is stringy, do you know what to do?
Should I feed them while the med is in the water ?
Do betta fish get wirms
Should I use Expel-P or Paracleanse for wasting disease?
Can we do with Shrimps also?
How to treat in combination with Ich-X?
Added Paracleanse last night... Seeing that it is Ich, this morning.
(Nitrites created this flashing behavior.)
Thx.. Scotty on Maui. 🏝🐋🐡🐡
I have seachem metroplex would that work for internal parasites?
It’s one of the ingredients in paracleanse so it should do some but be as broad spectrum as paracleanse.
Thank you so much for this helpful information Cory. I lost one the most beautiful blue huge angelfish that was so loved, and just now I lost a kuhli loach. I was just feeding them, and saw another kuhli loach pop out for a piece of food, and it's SOLID WHITE! Your video helped me realize it's parasites. I just saw the weird poop on a rainbow fish. Immediately ordered the meds. I haven't added new fish in about a year! What on earth could have brought these parasites?! Can frozen food do that? I'm at a loss.
(Hope not the food... Even Plants can carry critters.
@@bubblerings I haven't added any plants or anything new in over a year! Crazy 😩
@@lookwithinandsee sadly, sounds like the food is 'Dirty'... infested with worms...
-Only way to tell without a microscope is:
Treat your tank...
Keep track of what foods / brands are fed... See when parasites show up.
-By the way... can try to go back and see what are the newest frozen foods (and brand) that you bought.
Chances are, that a recent batch was contaminated.
Now, if your problem is something else, like a problem in the tank... Maybe conditions have changed and brought on illnesses like Ich or Fungus (white loach). A dead fish hiding under aquascape or in the filter can cause trouble.
Anyone experienced would tell you to test your water... Ammonia, Nitrites (both quite toxic)... Nitrates can be toxic, but not as likely, if doing water changes.
*could be anything to stress fish... did anyone spray for bugs by the tank or air pump? Chemicals make fish sensitive to everything. Hope you can do your detective work and find answers...
I got my first notebook after all these years... Keeping notes Helps to diagnose problems.
I now this is 1 year old, but did your Kuhli loaches withstand the medication?
@@fitrockxthey did! However, the white one is still solid white, and the others are normal colored. So weird?!
I have a freshwater stingray who used to eat everything from live food to fish food. It stopped eating and is very skinny, I want to treat it with this medication, but i am not sure it is harmful to stingrays.
Can I use it with it?
Seasons Greetings Fishfam☃️
So really no need to worry about Hydra killing fry either?
I rescued some Orandas and an angelfish with no fins. Try as I might, I can’t get rid of their infections. I was wondering, can I use paracleanse and fenbendazole at the same time? Thank you so much for these videos!
what happened back then?
Can you treat a whole tank of fish with that product if you only have a couple of that are Sick.
