Fish Aficionado
Pretty sure a rainbow fish in my 125gal has an internal parasite.
It's still active, but appears to have the sunken belly look going on and it's starting to swim funny.
Thinking that if this fish has it, then more than likely there are others in the tank that do as well. Obviously not showing the same signs, but that doesn't mean much right now.
What med should I get and will it be safe to use for the entire tank?
I saw a video of a guy soaking his fish food in the meds, are they all like that? Would frozen blood worms and brine shrimp soak up the meds enough to treat the tank?
Do parasite meds have any negative effect on the beneficial bacteria?
