Sick Fish help

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

sorry about the long read...

I have a 4ft tank with bolivian rams, Tetras, a few platys and a trio of L333 cats.

About 6 weeks back the rams started occasional flashing so i treated the tank with rapid whitespot remedy and raising the temp and followed up with a repeat treatment. All seemed going well until 3 weeks ago i started to notice white stringy poo from a few fish and also becoming quite lethargic. On advice from the LFS i treated the tank with praziquantel for 2 weeks but no change. Next trip to LFS I picked up some dimetridazole which i have mixed into a batch of food  and started feeding but my issue is the L333 cats dont feed at the same time and leaving food in tank overnight I assume ineffective as the meds would dissolve  from the pellets so they would still carry the issue to spread again. Also one of the fish now wont eat. Any advice?

Tank ph 7, nitrate is about 10ppm.
