Thank you! I’m glad I’m not the only one who is frustrated by otherwise normal fish! I’ve tried so many things without being very focused. I’m actually about to try PraziPro based on I think Tapeworm is the most likely parasite im dealing with. I’ll reply if this finally helps the stomach become convex

Yeah it’s been hard to know - I’ve thrown everything at them- from medicating my tank to medicated food! I heavily salted my water this week and haven’t fed them the last two day. I plan to give them Metro/focus food tonight. Do a water change Friday.. I just want his belly to stop being concave. It’s only slight but doesn’t seem to be normal again. Thanks for the reply

Does that mean I keep treating the tank for two weeks? I just can’t seem to know if my fish are still infected or not since they behave totally normal the entire time. I’m only worried because the stomach area is slightly concave instead of convex. I am now trying to not feed them for 4 days before I do a water change Friday. Seems like starving the parasite is another recommended way. I’m just lost.

I have African Cichlids. Well over a month ago I noticed my Fusco belly starting in invert. Shortly after he has a white stringy poop. He has never lost his appetite. It also seems like my Compressiceps belly is slightly inverted. Along with a few others. I have treated the tank- it’s small only 36 gallon now. I’ve been trying treated food for about a week now. I’ve raised my temp to 84. I’ve loaded the water with a heavy dose of Seachem cichlid salt (didn’t have anything else) I’ve only seen the white poop from one fish, once weeks ago. My Fusco belly is still slightly inverted but otherwise he’s healthy as with all my other fish…. I feel like I’m going crazy making sure they are healthy before my 140gallon tank is fully cycled and ready for them. Any advice?
