@@thefishdoctor8746 Yes, I brought a feces sample into my lab and he did have a couple of different parasites that I could see. It was not the stringy white feces that first alerted me to my electric blue acara (who is so sweet) being sick. He usually comes up and eats from my hand but he wasn't and his color started to look washed out. That's when I noticed the white feces and quarantined immediately. He is doing much better now. His tank mates (rainbow fish, bristlenose, and an angelfish) all seem fine but I am also putting them through a round of meds before I put my cichlid back with his friends.

Hello, thank you for creating your channel. How can you tell the difference between internal parasites and mycobacteria as the symptoms are initially the same? And if it’s mycobacteria does it survive in the environment without a host? Should you bleach your tanks to decontaminate everything? Can it be present without the fish showing clinical signs?

Hi Doctor, few guppies in my aquarium are infected with camalanus worms.. Red color worm showing up at the vent. What treatment do you suggest?

[@who8dapple]

Hello Dr., 6 weeks ago, we added 12 discus fries(1.25" to 2.25") from a local breeder (Boston MA tap water) in our established 75gal planted community. (Let me just share that this gentleman gave us 8 "runts" that was below his standards because of our interest in attempting our hands on discus!) Chemistry has been stable; 7.6 pH, 0 ppm for Ammo, NO2, and NO3 at around 78 degrees. Our plants have been pearling, we gravel vac daily for loose detritus, everyone has been active and eating extremely well! Now, 3 weeks ago, we lost one of the smallest discus fry, followed by a second 5 days later. (The first two fries had physical deformities; one had a missing eye, the other deformed gill plates.) A third fry died a week after and today our fourth. Now, Today's fry had a slightly bulging belly and what appeared to be white, curly and stringy fecal matter from its anal area. I had noticed also one of the (2.5" live) larger fry with a similar white strand 2 days ago, which raised some concerns for the tank. Should we treat the whole tank, and for what...what would be the ideal medication for a planted community with shrimp and snails? TIA

[@thefishdoctor8746]

Many of our treatments have not been trialled for safety in shrimp and snails, so I'm unable to advise. In such cases, it's advisable to remove the invertebrates from the tank during treatment and then return them after a period of 1 month, after carbon filtration.

[@xyxy5616]

Dr Loh, very glad I found your channel. I don't know how many of your videos I watched until I could stop. Very informative. I learned a lot. Now to my question and the reason I started watching in the first place. We had a series of deaths among our African Cichlids. Very typical signs of bloat and Hexamita. Every time we thought that we beat it, a new individual got sick. We haven't been able to treat a single one. Maybe we didn't start in time or maybe the medicines haven't been the right ones. We have tried with metronidazole, sterazine and mebendazol. We have tried treating the whole tank and also treating the patient alone. Yesterday, our Geophagus Steindashneri drew her last breath. Before that, her partner died in the same disease. It's always one fish at the time. Never several. The fish starts by hiding and being alone. Doesn't feed. Have stringy white poo. Breathing frequently but not like gasping for air. After a week or so, it starts swimming as is it couldn't hold it's balance, like a drunk person. When you can catch it just by hand, it's gone very far. Mucus covers the body and in the final stages the fins starts to deteriorate. They just kind of melt away. We tried treating them from the first signs and not treating them at all. So far no one survived. Now we have a Danakilia Sp. Shukoray who's been sick for some time now. She is isolated for now and I'm treating her with Flagyl at the moment. My husband is a doctor in an ER and can prescribe medication equivalent to veterinarian medicine. So the Flagyl and Vermox came from him. The dosage has been exactly what's subscribed by regular fish meds. I recently ordered a microscope that can enlarge 600x. I saved the Geophagus in the freezer. It should arrive today. Is there anything you can suggest that my husband should prescribe other than these meds? Is levamisole possible to prescribe for a regular doctor? Do you always have to know the bacteria to treat it? What could work in a broad spectrum? The microscope I ordered doesn't have a USB extension so I couldn't possibly take pics but my husband is an expert in recognizing internal critters so he could absolutely be able to see and identify the bacteria. As you can see from my long post, we are desperate. We have lost so many nice and expensive fish here. Also, we live in Sweden and can't therefor come with our fish to you. I hope I described this as thoroughly as possible. (1000L/265G tank. All our water parameters are excellent, water changes weekly and feces are syphoned. Only Af. Cichlids are the victims. None of the other fish ever died from this.) Thank you so much!

[@MrFatboydk]

I just got some from Ebay,its only like 100SKR for the Levamisole for a 1000 liter

[@thefishdoctor8746]

Sounds complex. Submit fish for testing to a veterinary laboratory. I offer such services in Australia.

[@holymolythejabroni9040]

The white body mucus, drunken swimming, and advanced fin rot sound like columnaris, which is a vicious bacteria. Once columnaris is inside a water column, it’s impossible to get rid of without a full breakdown and bleach cleanse of absolutely everything in the tank. Highly contagious, very common, especially in larger chain stores. I recently purchased a school of panda corydoras, and they started exhibiting signs of columnaris while in quarantine. Despite aggressive antibiotic treatment, I lost all but two of them. One of the survivors has such advanced fin rot on the tail, he probably won’t live beyond a year, if that. Columnaris is an absolute plague. Acraflavine and terramycin do a good job of combating it, though.

Fish Dr. what are your thoughts on Zedrix Guardian or Cz clear for white poop issues? I currently use your treatment but have seen others use the medicines mentioned above. THANKS FOR THE VIDEOS!!!

I have a discus right now in a group of 4 in a community tank who's belly has swollen double the size of normal ,white stringy poop and not interested in food also breathing heavy I've added esha heximita incase of internal parasites or is this just constipation,i have api genural cure at hand can i mix the both together ?

[@thefishdoctor8746]

Best to contact the manufacturer of those medicines (I do not use them, and don't want to advise from an area of inexperience).

@@thefishdoctor8746 thanks for the reply I've already done so to both suppliers but no reply,api is just metronidazole and praziquantel Esha is copper sulphate,enthracridine,acriflavine,methylene blue and water. For now I've only added some epsom salt to see if it flushes anything through the system,once again thanks for your time
