Medication question

[SFming]

Can you guy tell me what the different between those medication?

1.Formalin 3
2.Malachite Green
3 Malachite Blue.

For example: If i see my fish has fin rot, damage or....etc, should I use M Green, M blue, or Formalin 3.

1. Praziquantel <- For tapeworm
2. Metronidazole <- For stop eating?
3. Fluendazole <- This one.. I have no idea.
For example: My fishes stop eating, should I use Metronidazole, then Praziquantel. Fluendazole at last?

If I am going to buy some for stock, I should buy all of them? When I look at those description, they seem like the same.

Hi ,
Prazi is for tapeworm and flukes.

metro is for flagellates= hexamita= not eat and white stringy feces

flubendazole = nematode worms = internal= yellow feces, sometimes white feces, also for flukes

identifying the parasite/disease is foremost before administering meds.

fin rot = salt + possibly melafix, sometimes an antibiotic is needed.
