SunniSki Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 If I’m treating symptoms of fish flashing with Paracleanse and it seems to improve while I’m treating with it, my guess is that I’m using the correct med??? Im on my second round of treating with paracleanse. Symptoms I saw where flashing, clear long poop, hiding and clamped fins. I treated for a second round since 4-5 days after my first round, a couple fish started to show these symptoms again, and my pleco still has clear poop. Parameters in my tank are good/normal for my fish. I did purchase expel-p if needed. I was thinking after this second round which ends today, I can give the fish a few days break and if I still see symptoms go ahead and try expel-p. Im wondering if I am approaching this correctly?

Colu Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Sometimes it can take three courses of paracleanse 2 weeks apart to deal with any parasites as you have seen some improvement after treating with paracleanse I would follow up with third course in 2 weeks if after that your fish are still showing symptoms then I would treat Expel p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunniSki Posted January 30, 2022 Author Share Posted January 30, 2022 So during the rest time in-between treatments, the flashing and rubbing against objects is just expected? I checked today and my pleco still has clear or light sheer green poo. Every other fish that is a regular poo machine does have solid poo at this time. It’s the pleco I feel is not even eating anymore. I change out some water today so I’m curious if the flashing will start again or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) Fish will show symptoms during treatment such as flashing and white stringy poop till the parasite have been delt parasites are getting more resistant to some medication it can take an extra course of treatment in some cases if your plecos not eating and if you notice he's starting to get a sunken belly then I would start treating with Expel p Edited January 31, 2022 by Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
