I have a 55 gallon tank with 4 angel fish and 5 rainbow fish. They have internal parasites. I have concluded this based on white stringy poop, increasing general malaise of 2 fish (2 other fish died about 6 weeks ago), and actually seeing thin stringy worms swimming in the tank (i know, gross). I have begun to use Parasite Guard and have started adding "extra" salt. Instructions for parasite guard are vague.. how long do you keep filter out after administering treatment. How many treatment should you give? How soon should fish improve? Also, How much salt is right to add to help kill parasites and how often should it be added? And for how long?
I have had the tank 1 year and have not added any new fish or plants. I change 10 gallons (20%) once a week and the nitrate/ammonia levels are good.
Thank you!
