Tank Buddies Parasite Clear

[cosmodude12]

does it work?

I'm going to treat one of my discus that might has internal problem. He sometimes has white and sometimes dark poop, though he is actively eating.


Should I dosage the entire tank, assuming others might get infected from the feces on the tank floor?

PC is a shotgun treatment, an all-in-one. I prefer a specific chemical for a specific illness. Knowing what your fish has will lead you as to whether or not you need to treat the main tank.
