Whats the med called.

You will have to remove the inverts as most internal parasite meds can kill them.

 

[shelaghfishface]

even a heated bucket with air pump would do, and do us a favour and tidy up your grammer, its like doing The Times cross word from here

[WILDER]

Also it depends on which parasite it is for a med.

Metronidazole. You will want a med tank, as you want the water temperature up to about 90F. 40mg/gallon, 50% water changes daily & remed. You will be doing this for 14 days.

Don't feed at first. Get some frozen brine shrimp, on the third day feed this with some metro sprinkled on & mixed in. Feed this only, once daily for 14 days.
