Internal Parasite Help?

[Xanthous]

New to the forum , hey guys.

Okay, so, 2/5 of my red swordtails have cloudy closed fins on their tail (not fully expanded) , they also have lost a bit of appetite/energy and I saw one with clear/white poop...So this to me sounded like internal parasites? I haven't dealt with this before though and this is where I need your help.

fishforum.com, while being good wasn't answering my question...


The 2 swordtails are in a 55gal with 20 other fish, should I quarantine them into my 10gal?
How can I cure it?

Thank you so much in advance.

What are your water stats in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph.
What other fish do you have, which type and how many.

Signs of internal parasites are.
Long stringy white poo, clear mucas poo, red poo.
Worms prutruding from the anus.
Enlarged anus or a red inflamed anus.
Sunken in belly sometimes.
Fish will look skinny or bloated.
Bent spine sometimes.
Sometimes the fish will swim on its side.

Your fish is also showing sign of a bacterial infection. So need more info to see which the fish has.

I've only noticed a few of the things listed as symptoms. But I've had this before and the fish usually go quick once they get the cloud on their tail (within 3 days) so if that helps. Any more questions, I'd gladly answer them, thank you so much.

What your tap nitrate reading.
Do you have live plants in the tank.

Cloudy looking fins that stick together can be a numbers of things.
Bad water quality, bacterial finrot, parasites.
Any signs of flicking and rubbing.
