Paradise Fish Sick

[Kombat]

One of my Paradise Fish is sick. I am QTing it after the kids get to bed. He has white poo, has been lethargic, and looks really emaciated. He's a lot skinnier than he was. Any ideas on if this is a bacteria infection or a parasite?

Thanks,
Karl

Sounds like internal parsites if he's skinny and white poo.
Can you post water stats as well in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph.

Thanks. Poor thing I haven't had a chance to go buy meds yet for him. I checked my stash and found something by Mardel. I'm sorry I don't remember the brand name. It says it treat Ich and other external parasites. I'm guessing it won't do much for internal parasites.

And I don't have stats yet. I'll try to check them tonight.

Sadly no you need an internal parasite med.
Whats your location.
