Aquarium Advice Activist
This afternoon, I was taking a break from doing homework when I noticed one of my guppies having a long, white crap in my cycling 10G. Did a quick research blitz online and found out that not only is that a common sign of internal parasites, but that livebearers often carry something called Camallanus. Went to the store and got PraziPro, which was advised by sites online as well as the guy at the fish specialty store. A lot of what I see online says this is going to be a nightmare, especially since I have seen what I'm now calling the red threads of doom. I'm not planning on doing anything than what the instructions on the bottle advise me to at the moment: so once or twice a week dosage, with weekly water changes focusing on deep cleaning the substrate.
Fortunately, I am using gravel in this tank so doing a deep clean should be relatively easy (at least when compared to sand). I am worried about how this treatment process is going to affect the cycling I am doing on the tank. Any advice?
