internal parasite in clownfish
I purchased 2 clownfish about 1 week ago and acclimated them into my quarantine tank. They have been eating fine since day one and appeared to be healthy, however today they did not eat and they appear to have white stringy poop. If I have read correctly, white stringy poop typically denotes an internal parasite. To be sure here are a couple of pictures...
   If they are indeed infected with internal parasites, should I treat with prazipro, pepzine, garlic, or what? Thank you for all your help -Jake |

I know people that have had luck with this product
http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/group/23761/product.web But supplementing the food with garlic may also help out.

I've never heard of the stringy white poop, but I've never researched it. I would try one of the more advanced forums than the new to the hobby one. You might get more answers.
