Yuping Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I just treated my fish for internal parasite (after seeing stringy white poop). It got better after first week of treatment as per API instructions (general cure). Appetite and colour returned. However, days after, there is a lump near the rectum. Is this parasite induced rectum prolapse? Should I continue the second cycle of general cure treatment or should I continue or stop or do salt bath?

Colu Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 That's a prolapse you would want to treat with epsom salt baths 1 table spoon for 1 gallon for no more than 15 minutes for 5 days as Epsom salt acts as a muscle relaxant to help your fish reabsorb the prolapse I would treat the prolapse first than follow up with another course of general cure @Yuping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
