Thin Fish

I haven't seen anything noticeable on them. Could be a worm or something internal. I fed the pellets and frozen tonight, all are eating but noticed the anthia wouldn't touch the pellets.

I have seachem para guard on hand, will read if reef safe.

My bottle of prazipro says its ok in reef systems. But it will kill flatworms of the order POLYCLADIDA
I'm not sure, but I think that would kill feather dusters.

Para guard is for external parasites. I think I will follow the additional feedings for now. Frozen food has garlic mixed in. I am not comfortable treating meds in the dt and I'm not confident I can set up a qt quick enough to be effective.

I've been watching my fish and here's what I'm observing.

Sailfin - has approx 1/2" long flat back poop and 2 white stringy things hanging out of its anus. This definitely does not look normal. She normally is a strong swimmer, but she looks like she's getting blown around a bit by the power heads.





I haven't witnessed the others pooping.

Is prazipro my only option here?

Those are worms. My Discus would get similar feces a few days after feeding blood worms.

I had skin flukes in my Marine tank before and I prazi pro'd the display with no ill affects.

It's worth a shot.

Here is my post on it. http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/sho...ight=prazi+pro

Prazi Pro received Kien's blessing so it has to be good then, right??

Thanks Ross for the link. I'll pick some up in the morning and try to sneak back home to treat. I'm getting worried with how thin she is, assuming the others are affected as well.

Curious where they came from or how they were introduced. Nothing new in months!
