    Guppy parasite?

    Hello everyone, I got new guppies a few weeks ago and I went ahead and treated the whole tank with two rounds of API general cure to be safe because in my experience guppies are VERY prone to parasites.

    Treating internal parasites

    I recently got a betta and when I got him there's a white stringy poop hanging in his anus. I'm medicating him using Azoo's Anti Internal parasite, how should I know if the parasites are gone? He's still swimming jerkily and showing stress stripes

    Lost A Fish, Restarting Tank

    This morning I discovered my DG had died after about a week of treatment for parasites.    I've decided to take this as an opportunity to start a tank of right (he was the only occupant), though I have 2 questions on how to move on. Number 1, how to clean the tank out. I don't know exactly...
