more help with the qt please

[vipjd39]

So in my qt right now are my anthias and kole...all appear to be healthy and have nothing on them. all are eating, but my concern is that there seems to be white fish poop in the tank. One is very small and squiggly, and the other is large and round, but both are white.

What should I do?

[crvz]

siphon any wastes that collect in the tank. What do you think you should do with it?

[MattL]

That's kind of gross...

If you aren't already, I would treat with Prazipro (praziquantel). Your fish could have internal parasites, abnormal waste can be indicative of this, and the Prazipro will also treat flukes effectively. I would treat for 14 days.

crvz-lol, I know I should siphon it out and get rid of it, I was more asking what exactly I should treat with.

MattL-yes, kinda gross. I have only ever kept and raised seahorses and know that when they have abnormal waste its a sign of internal parasites.

Gwyn- I will begin treating with Prazipro. Am I able to leave my HOB filter on or do I just need to shut it off. Thanks.

[MattL]

Your HOB filter should be fine with PraziPro.
They say to avoid skimming, and you do need to remove all activated carbon.
How long as this q-tank been setup for?
