I think I've got some internal parasites in both of my tanks. I plan on trying to treat with medicated foods, however all of the fish might not eat it. If that happens I plan on trying some of Jungle's Parasite Clear tabs. My question is if the tabs are safe for clown loaches, plecos, and various shrimp (bamboo, amano, and cherry)?

Should I do a half dose instead?

The tanks in questions are my 10 gallon and a 55 gallon. Check the "My Info" button for the tank residents. I do not have a QT tank. Both tanks have been established for over 6 months.

Thanks
 
I don't know about clowns, but parasite clear is not safe for invertabrates. I suggest you move the fish to a QT tank and treat them there, leaving the display tank and invertabrates with no fish for several weeks. Fish-only parasites in the display will die off from lack of host during this period, then you can move the fish back.
 
I would not use it with clowns and shrimp. Plecos I think are fine with it. If there are too many fish to move to QT, move the clowns and shrimp and treat the main tank.
