I'm assuming it's some sort of internal parasite but am unsure on what medication to use. Metro had no effect, have just started treatment with seachem kanaplex. It's happening only in juveniles/fry. It's in a couple of my tanks that are fully cycled but are a bit high in nitrates 20-40 range. I feed them 1-2 times daily NLS grow and algae wafers. 50-60% water change weekly.
Fish swim around fine, eat, but they just start getting skinnier and skinnier. after kanaplex was used in one of the fry tanks and I began supplementing their NLS grow with the algae wafers I haven't lost any fry but I have a couple of juveniles in another tank that are starting to show similar signs. which is why I began the kanaplex in that tank as well. I'm just trying to make sure what I'm doing will work. Most of the medications I see at the LFS are for external parasites and kanaplex was the only one that said anything about treating internal parasites. Is there a medication people typically use for internal parasites that aren't susceptible to metronidazole?
