BeasileyBub Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I have a blue tang that will poop out these longish worms. I have tried soaking his food in prazi pro and it doesn't seem to do much. Most medications I have seen don't really advertise internal parasites. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to de worm a fish?I have been attempting to isolate the guy but haven't had much success as he is fast and paranoid now. I imagine the other fish in the same tank will have them by now as well. This has probably been going on for some time. So any solutions for the whole tank would be ideal. However, I have a very stocked reef tank and would like to avoid the destruction of life. Any help would be much appreciatedThe internet yielded something like this. Disclaimer: I know this isn't my fish. The worms aren't nearly this long but this is what it looks similar to. http://puntodeenvio.es/wp-content/upgrade/internal-parasites-in-fish-8115.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorge Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Whenever I place a fish into my quarantine and notice brown stringy poop I will feed 14 days worth of this treatment. Shortly after the treatment I will see the poo go from stringy to flaky powder form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVPaquatics Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Fenbendazole aka panacur is what I always used for internal worms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
