First ich, now this. My male ram seems pretty skinny right now, and I noticed white stringy poop, so I suspect internal parasites. That said, he doesn't look unhealthily skinny, just a little bit more so than he should be, and I've only seen the white poop once. I do feed quite a bit- not overfeeding, but I give them a lot of food and a solid variety (NLS cichlid formula, tetra crisps, frozen bloodworms and brine shrimp, bottom feeder pellets).Would it hurt to feed him medicated food and see if he fattens up? Will medicated food hurt the other fish that may not have internal parasites? If it wont hurt them, I'd rather medicate for internal parasites, especially while all the fish seem to be eating well, and take care of the problem early.
