Clownfish with intestines coming out?
I have an ocellaris that has it's intestines hanging out similar to what's in the photo below. I've read a bit here about parasites.
- I added a few fish recently (from liveaquaria) - He seems to be eating and active, nothing abnormal yet - This is in my display tank - What's the best treatment available right now for this? Thank you! Shane

I’ve seen that before and I think it’s just poop

White poop, not part of the fish, but it is indicative of a problem that should be treated. Offer it some fine-diced fresh garlic...and if it keeps on, treat it with Prazipro, q.v.

Thanks for the response!
What type of problem is it indicative of - parasites of some type in the stomach/intestines? I'll def try the garlic feeding. He's still eating fine and appears to be behaving normally. S |

Either generic tummy upset or parasites. Garlic can help the one, Prazipro the second.
