    Hi
    I believe my clowns have been affected by internal worms. I've been seeing occasional white poop for the past couple months. I'm looking for a food that can be fed to the entire tank. I have the jungle anti parasite food but no one eats it. I also have angels plus metro flakes but they won't eat flakes! Is there any other foods I can try? Or anything I can add to my current food? I don't have another qt tank to separate anyone.

    These fish eat like crazy, so I don't need to treat the water I think.

    Thank you for any advice!

    I have metro+ powder that I was planning to soak the food in, but according to Hikari, you have to use 190 proof alcohol or something. Do you think I can just dossivr the powder in tank water and soak the pellets that way, without the alcohol?


    If not, I'll just buy the seachem metro and use that

    Sounds like snake oil to me.

    Drink the ETOH, and feed mormally.

    Dr g's makes anti parasitic foods for fish, even deworm foods. Be careful feeding if you have coral in the tank. You don't want foods like that getting on them. I use other products by Dr. G and really like them.

    Good news!! right before I was going to leave to buy the seachem metro, I saw the clown have a healthy poop. I'm not sure now if the white poop I saw on Saturday was not related to a parasite, or if my metro+ slurry is working even though Hikari told me it wouldn't unless I used alcohol. Hmm

    Either way, continuing with the metro+!! The store didn't have the seachem metro anyway
