      As I am a complete newbie to fish keeping hobby so was just wondering how to treat for intestinal parasites etc. for small tropical freshwater fish which are around only 2cm- 4cm being the largest size in my 18.5-20 US Gallon fish tank or 70 litre which I have.
      As I had my firsh tank/ aquarium set up for over 1 year or around 1.5 years doing fishless cycling method and having growing out some live plants using Fritz Zyme 7 live nitrifying bacteria and for natural ammonia using Fritz zyme fishless fuel. According to my local pet store/ fish store they said my fish tank water was very well cycled and very good consistent water parameters except that my water PH being slightly high at 7.6 and also quite high water hardness but other than that completely good.
      I have quite a lot of live beginner aquarium plants covering nearly my whole aquarium and the fish I have are 5 small red cherry barbs, 2 bright and wonderful Yellow Honey Gourami and 2 beautiful black/ greyish colour Dwarf Suckermouth Catfish/ Otto which are very much like plecos (Latin name: Otocinclus. sp.) As they only tend to stick to the sides of my glass fish tank or on top of ornaments or my live plants.
      As for regarding health generally majority of the fish look very nice, vibrant colour and swimming around well however one of the red Cherry barb is looking quite sluggish or at least down at the bottom of the fish tank by himself and not eating much mostly unlike the other community fish or possibly something red sticking out of it's underside belly lile bloat possibly??? I have also one of catfish I noticed strangely just started yesterday white stringy poop coming out as it was swimming around which if correct according to my research/ knowledge is obvious sign of intestinal parasites etc. Other than that all my other fish such as my 2 Yellow Honey Gourami are completely fine and seem to be very healthy and doing very well, looking fine and eating well etc.
      Any useful information/ tips and advice would be very helpful and greatly appreciated. As obviously unlike in this wonderful UA-cam video I obviously can't treat fish individually by taking them out of the fish tank and lying them flat on a towel etc. as my fish are way too small. Also unfortunately as I don't have enough money I only have 1 fish tank so no other separate fish tank to use as a hospital tank to treat the fish that maybe looking sick in my opinion individually.
      As recommended by Kaveman Aquatics UA-cam channel I have been using since I bought my fish (not bought all at once obviously) using Seachem stability and Seachem Prime and Seachem Flouish Advance for my live plants.
      Thank you,
      Kind regards,
      Tom from UK.

I already finish the treatment but One of my fish still doesn’t want to eat and is very skinny but still alive. Today I did the 25% water change. Do I need to wait 2 weeks to do the treatment again or i can do it now ???… and also in my regular tank I still have one clownfish and one angel but today the ángel doesn’t want to eat can i do the treatment on my regular tank and the shrimps and snail going to be ok ?

My fault for not quarantining the new fish, just ordered paracleanse today so I can dose the whole aquarium when it comes in. Should've quarantined the Firemouths in my smaller tank, but made the mistake of listening to the seller and now one the fish are suffering for my own ignorance. Will not be making that mistake again.

      They carry a gazillion water conditioners. (yeah, great).
      I may post a vid... What to buy Before you get fish...
      -thank God for the Co-op... but, was still too late for 2 out of 3 fish.
      They ate... and got skinny and stressed... eventually too weak to eat. :(

He will actual lay on the bottom of the tank. I hate seeing him like this. I’ve treated with kanaplex and aquarium salt (not at the same time) It seem to work at first but then he starts swimming erratic again. I feel really bad because I don’t know if he is suffering.
