Problem With Internal Parasite

[IMCL85]

Hi all, recently I just set up a 150g tank for clown loaches and right now I have a few inside and another group I bought earlier this week on my 20g for quantine period. Some of them appear to have internal parasite that cause them go skimmy and slowy wasting away. Does any one know a good treatment for this kind of parasite right now I'm feeding them anti parasite medicated food from jungle lab.



Thx for looking
Jack
