Jungle Labs Parasite Clear safe for Corys?

[martiemcg]

OK. Here's my tale.

I have a tank with 3 Bronze Cory's and a male Platy. 2.5 weeks ago I got 2 female Platies and a girl Swordtail and put them in QT. They had babies so I took the sponge filter from the Cory/Platy tank and squeezed it in the QT tank so the fry would have something to eat. I accidentally dropped the sponge in the QT tank. I rinsed it in tepid tap water a bit and put it back in the Cory/Platy filter.

One of the girl Platies is having stringy whitish clear poop and now my male Platy in the Cory tank is doing the same. He doesn't eat as much as normal either although he's still very active. Just in case I've contaminated the Cory tank should I use the Parasite Clear in that tank as well as the QT tank or should I put the male Platy in with the girls in the QT tank and treat them by themselves away from the Corys?

I need to know if Corys are sensitive to the ingredients in the Parasite Clear.

Praziquantel, Diflubenzuron, Metronidazole and Acriflavine.

if there's an issue, your medication will say something along the lines of: for sensivite fish........and then it will go on saying whether to a)not use it or b)use reduceded dose.

however IMO+IME you do not need medictation. jsut feed a garlic bsed food, and they should be fine. notice that garlic should be one of the first indgridents listed on the food you use.

You can also try feeding small amounts of frozen peas. It helps to get their digestive system moving smoothly. Along with the garlic, it couldnt hurt.

I have a jar of minced garlic and it has alot of oil in it. Could I put a bit of the garlic oil on flake food or pellet and feed to them instead of buying garlic fish food?

They already have algae and anacharis to nibble on for greens and I've seen them eating plenty of it. Should I still give them the peas?

yes you could do that with garlic. just make sure they eat it.
the peas wouldn't hurt.
