? on medicated food

[mom2reds]

As some of you may have read my previous post I think I have parasite in my fish and have been feeding the Jungle pelet food which I have to crush up for my fish to eat, it says to feed for three days a week for four weeks.
My question: Is this what you guys recomend and how do you know when the parasite is gone the only symptoms was the white stringy poop, I havenot lost any more fish since my last post. Also do i feed my fish regular food inbetween the medicated food days.

I generally feed it exclusively for a week then alternate for another week and then keep an eye on the fish. If need be and I notice symptoms again, I start feeding it again. That is what has worked for me. Glad to hear you haven't lost anymore fish!

Thanks Anne I did feed some peas last night but I will start back on the medicated food today.

I hope that the worst is over. I hate parasites!

Me too. I did lose a prego guppy yesterday but I think she may have had some trouble with delivery. I will continue to feed the medicine for the rest of this week. I did a huge 75% water change a nd gravel vac. yesterday with hopes that it would help.
Thanks for your comment you are always very helpful and kind.

Not a problem.
When I first started out in this hobby I had so many questions I thought they would ban me from AA! LOL Everyone was so nice to me and so helpful, it is the very least I can do to return the favour whenever I can.
