FishyLady Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 (edited) I am starting treatment in my fish tank for internal parasites. I ordered the quarantine trio and am wondering if I should just add all 3 medications to knock out anything my fish may have that I’m not aware of or should I just treat for worms only? Update: I was watching my tank a while and saw one of my fish poop the poop hit the graven then wiggled on down. I some friends over they confirmed my tank has distritis worms and planaria excuse the improper spelling. I added paracleanse to the tank today I hope this works Edited November 23, 2021 by FishyLady Updated Info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 If you think your fish have parasites I would just for that as the med trio is more of a proventive treatment 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishyLady Posted November 22, 2021 Author Share Posted November 22, 2021 Ok thanks one if at top of the tank fins clamped now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Clamp fins can be a sign of a bacterial or poor water quality I would do a large water change if it's still has clamped fins I would add antibiotic medication to their food while treating with paracleanse in the water column Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quikv6 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 What is the ammonia level? Given you are showing 0 nitrates, it is a safe bet to assume your tank is still cycling. Ammonia can be deadly to fish, and is a very important parameter to measure while during tank cycling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishyLady Posted November 23, 2021 Author Share Posted November 23, 2021 I think I restarted the cycle when I freaked out and deep cleaned the tank after seeing what I suspected to be worms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eatyourpeas Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 If you see redness in the gills you could be having ammonia issues. It is a good idea to be able to test for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
