Need to find out if you can use the internal parasite med with young fry.
Do a search on clear mucas poo.

 

[blue130]

ps occasionally there are stringy patches amongst the norm

 

[WILDER]

I would worm your fish and I will try and find out if you can use internal wormer with young fry.
If not you are best of issolating them till they get older then worm them.

I suggest not it will kill the fry really quick, I did this with my tank of gourmis and later on figured it was a worm issue, along with the known internal parasite they normally carry well for me it was to late and in babies its really hard to tell what the issue is when they are tiny. All I did was remove my discuss from my main planted tank stopped the dose immedialtly and put in my main tank cause its natural for them and so far instead of losing the entire batch I have 3 really strong ones left. I think in my gourmis issue when i resealed the tank I ran into a internal parasite. But since then are all doing well. As far as wormer goes i wouldn't reco it when they are fry, and as far as any meds go does half of what the bottle says I found even doing that killed my fish and stressed them out beyond the point of no return. (But when I breed I would rather have 3 really strong ones left with amazing colours and known that they will be hardy then having 200 with defective fins no bright colour and really sensitive to water paramiters!)

i am in a similar cituation with my fish, all of them have stringy poo, so is this bad?- i have a lot of fish die, with suspected internal parisites, i am going to worm mine soon with wormer plus- google it. it is originally for discus but will do the job

 

[WILDER]

If the fish have camallanous worms dwarf-p wormer plus it not that effective on them.
I would try the med I left the link to if you think they have camallanous worms.
