Oh my goodness! Right when I saw that poop string I knew this is exactly what was wrong with my fish! Thank you thank you thank you! I prayed for an answer for what was wrong and Jesus led me to your video!! I’m so grateful for you for recording this!
Man you’ve really helped me come a long way in the aquarium hobby , there were times when I was ready to give up , but after all these videos of yours I’ve learned so much and now my goldfish and me thank you so much sir !!
@@KaveManAquaticsHello kev 4 of my discus havnt been eatin for about a month iv tried so many treatments for white stringy poop and nothink has worked,,,so iv bit the bullet and bought metroplex now the problem is the fish will not eat at all,iv even used garlic gaurd and that didn't work,,,,so when my metroplex comes the only way to treat them is in the water,,,is that the only way?????over the full course over the 3 weeks it's gonna take 66g of metroplex for the size of my tank as I'm treating all fish.
I am really going crazy , I have had my babies for almost 5 years and al of a sudden I started seeing the gold color fading and scales falling off sunken in behind the head and a sunken belly stringy white poo. I had treated with salt and bacteria and fungi and still I have lost 3 fish in the past 2 months. I'm going to have to treat my whole tank. My 2 koi and 2 African featherfins seem fine but my sarrasas are dieing. Thank you for your videos I was so lost and you again saved the swimming Angels. These fish are the best for mental health and I bring people that I know need help and have them just sit in front of my tank and watch the fish . My fish LOVE attention and love when people are watching them. Its like they put on a show for whoever is in front of the tank. I have sat in a chair everyday and hand fed them for over 4 years and they are truly part of the family and in our dining room when we eat they eat at the same time .
I name all my guppies! I am a long time fish keeper that started a new ten gallon and made all the mistakes I thought I knew not to make! Your videos got me through!
Just went to the fish store to get these 3 items I’m about to start the process two of my Oranda goldfish have iternal parasites I’m sure it’ll work just like every guide you’ve given me has .. you’re a blessing bro !!
Just want to say how much I value what you said about we already know where we are, now let's figure out how to fix it. I have spent countless hours watching videos that end up being full of just fluff, and often it ends up being not related to the topic I'm intending to watch, so it's extra wasted time. Most of the big TH-camrs I watch are pretty good for it, but thanks for just spitting out the facts here
My pleasure bro! I know what you mean about guys just dragging it out, thats why I wanted to make my channel always as straight to the point as possible! Appreciate the feedback!😁💪
I just want to say that you've helped me a lot. I started with a freshwater tank then made the switch to saltwater/reef and your videos are STILL very helpful!
Every one of my fish have names. (: I've noticed giving them each a name has changed there behavior. It helps them to feel like individuals said say if someone hasn't named them, they should because it gives them a sense of individuality. (:
Just ordered a bundle with kanoflex in it. I have not reached the sunken belly stage but realized some of my guys have stringy poop. Will treat the entire tank to get rid of this issue...so thankful for the video!
Great question, usually you would because carbon removes meds from your water. But in this case the fish are immediately eating the food/med concoction. So nope, you’re good 👍
You're not crazy I name my fish too and I wanted to say thank you so so much for helping me start my amazing fish journey this year, I will definitely continue to watch your amazing videos.
I agree. I’ve been wasting money on metroplex and what I mean by that is I’m apparently dosing the wrong way. I thought you put the number scoops of medicine per gallons of the tank. And I guess that’s if you are dosing the WATER! 🤦🏽♀️ I was wasting my focus and garlic guard as well. Damn damn damn! No wonder my fish wouldn’t eat that bitter crap! As many scoops of medicine I put they probably can still taste it. Got a few that won’t eat but maybe if I mix it right I can still save them. Glad I came across your video! Thanks for the post!
Right now the only sign i see of internal parasites is stringy poop and i’ve seen Molly, Paullie and Mr. Pac-Man poop like that. They all still have a very good appetite thankfully. I’m going to take this as an indicator to treat all my fishies and i’m so thankful for your informative video that shows where to begin 😭 i’d be very clueless otherwise.
My pleasure! If they only have the stringy poop but are still eating good, and no sunken belly, I wouldnt medicate. They could just be adjusting to the food you're feeding. Remember the white stringy poop is just 1 of a few signs....Hold of on the meds for now as long as they're still eating well.
@@KaveManAquatics thank you so much!! i will definitely keep a look out for the other signs and take action if i see any other signs. we just got through fighting Ick a couple of weeks ago and i didn’t want to medicate them so soon after that. thankfully all of them recovered from ick and my tank has been ick free for a few weeks now ☺️ also, thank you for taking the time to reply to my comment
i just ordered all this stuff , it should he here tomorrow! i noticed one of my guys hasn’t eating in the last 2 days and went right to ur youtube for the answer. hopefully it all works ok
Kev, Thank you for having the best “how to” videos on aquarium and fish keeping. You are my go to guy for all fish and aquarium tips, tricks and treatments. I haven’t owned fish in 30 plus years or so but now my 5 year old daughter Ava had a fascination with them and so doing things like I do, we went from a single goldfish she won at the fair to a 5 gallon, then 10 gallon and now a 75 gallon fresh water tank. 🤦! Anyways, Dude, you are down to earth, easy to follow and direct and to the point which I appreciate! Our Cichlids are 2- blood parrots and named ( Mustard and Mayonnaise). and 2- Tiger Oscars are (Jelly and Peanut Butter). 😎 Too cute coming from a 5 year old man! Thank you Kev and keep these videos coming! Now I get to treat internal parasites in one of our Oscars (Jelly). He has the long white dangling poop and is now staying at the bottom of the tank and almost laying sideways at times. Wish us luck!
Hi David, Glad to hear your daughter brought back in to the hobby! Your fish have awesome names btw! Thank you for the positive feedback, im happy to hear you're enjoying the channel and finding it helpful! Good luck with your Oscar, hopefully he'll pull through! In the off chance that he doesnt want to eat the medicated food you should also check out my video on what to do as a last resort - th-cam.com/video/bg-oMnCYhws/w-d-xo.html
YOU ARE A LEGEND! Had to say that first before anything else. I love your content had to subscribe to your channel. Very informative, straight to the point and one thing I respect you so much for is that you respond to every comment💪🏽 keep up the good work😀
You have very informative videos ❤. I fed once, and one out of 2 angels couldn't poop at all after 1st dose in food she was very swollen, so I added peas later. She wouldn't eat the 2nd dosage because she didn't like it. So, I ordered the focus and garlic guard. I treated the tank until I received the focus and garlic guard. Your fish are very beautiful 😍
Watched this video this morning and found it to be so informative, I went and bought everything on your list. Love your videos. I'm a long time hobbyist who recently got back in after being out over ten years.
Thank you so much 💖 we're just starting out with our guppies and we lost 3 so far (1 before we had chance to name him, Jacque, and Shadow). Got medicine on route so we can try and save Jack, Mom (it's the school hols), and Mello 🤞💖
brilliant video's,lots of excellent advice and knowledge, plus 9 year old camera man is doing fine, some o the best advice video's on YT, keep up the good work, top man, jay london
Newer to cichlids and this video was recommended to me because I suspect I have parasites in my tank. Very simple to follow, I ordered all of the supplies and they're being delivered tomorrow morning. Crossing my fingers, because I have one that stopped eating.
Thanks, I figured I’d do separate videos on each disease and it’s specific medication first and then do one big general video about disease and meds all in one. What do you think?
We have a killifish named Speedy, 2 Panda Corys Roxy and Bubbles(we had 4 but lost 2) and 1 mystery snail named Nick Rainbows. My 5yr old child named them. We also have 8 unnamed tetras because it's harder to tell them apart.
I like your vids, and your presentation style. Lots of people swear by Metro, but I haven’t experienced positive outcomes. Although I have not been soaking as long as you suggested(I usually soaked for 2-3min). But I will try your suggestions, and see if theres a difference. Be well
reginald barometre Thanks! Appreciate the comment, definitely soak it for longer. Remember these pellets are formed with intense heat for maximum dryness. Give it more time and you’ll see the difference of how much liquid they can absorb.
Seachem has changed their concentration levels. Use a 1:1 ratio of metro and focus as stated on their new packaging** i saw this today :( at my second day of treatment.Thanks by the way maybe u can put a note in the video when u use 5:1 ratio focus with metro.. Thanks bro
Dissolve the medication in a smaller amount of garlic guard first and then add the food to absorbe the liquid. If it all absorbs into the food then add more garlic guard if you want to.
New sub! I’ve been doing it all wrong! I’m a nurse not a 👩🔬 chemist! Lol! I think 🤔 it will work now I know the correct way to use it! Thank you so much!
Lol, that’s ok, Being a nurse will be beneficial to your fish one way or another, even if it’s just caring for them! This method should help them ingest the meds. If you have a guy that just won’t eat at all anymore he may be too far gone. At that point remove him into a hospital tank and treat the water in that whole tank....and cross your fingers 🤞
I watched a vet on another channel who said that it is highly unlikely that aquarium fish would ever have an internal parasite unless the fish were wild caught.
@@KaveManAquatics She said that she can remember only a single time that she saw internal parasites in an aquarium fish. She was implying there’s no way parasites could be present because most aquarium fish are farmed raised. Unfortunately her site has comments turned off so I would liked to have just asked if it was likely that parasite could be introduced with infected water. What is your theory about how farm raised aquarium fish could be infected?
Ive seen that video in the past. She's one Doc with one opinion. Watch internal parasite videos from all the top creators on youtube and they've all had to deal with it. But the choice to follow one persons opinion over anothers is always yours 🤷♂️ And i say "opinion" just to be safe, but some guys have videos of the living parasites in the tank after a fish poops...so theres that too.
Hey Kev, you’re the go to man! You’ve got a video for every single thing I’m experiencing as a noob. When you say the quarantine combo (paraguard/metroplex) do I go half and half on each medication or full on each per serving?
My pleasure! I highly suggest you check out my playlist for beginners. It'll be very helpful for you 😁 - th-cam.com/play/PLP5OXTIIDO8NYvhUHAmwAd54WFmS4d8er.html
Parasites are always present in your tank. When your fish get stressed, which can happen for a ton of reasons, they become susceptible to parasitic diseases.
My betta fish is sick I’ve treated the water with E.M. Erythromycin and it’s not helped. He hasn’t eat in 4 days. I’m afraid he’s going to die before I get him help
Thanks for this video I hope I’m not to late for my baby Madagascar rainbow he has one of the stringy white poops he never showed this before until today thanks again for the educational video 👏🏽
Hi Kev, "Lets Go". 😄😄. I'm a subscriber. I love your videos because they are easy to follow and understand. They are very informative as well. I have 2 Tetra fish that are not eating and I don't see any long white stringy poop coming from them. There are no signs of Ick either. The pink one is very active but the blue one spends a lot of time at the bottom of the tank hiding. The blue one has also become very pale in color with sunken belly. He will swim around at times. So I saw one of your videos on why your fish have stopped eating. You said to change the brand of food, I did to a more vitamin riched food with smaller pellets. I also ordered Seachem Metroplex and Seachem Focus. As for the Seachem Garlic Guard do you recommend using fresh garlic juice?? Also saw another of your videos saying that I can treat the whole tank, I only have those 2 fish anyway for now. You also mentioned Epsom Salt mixture can be added to tank as well with these above named products. How often do I do water changes if any and for how many days do I treat???
Let Seachem know I just ordered and dosed my tank with their products because of THIS video, ty much!
Will do brother! Thank you! 😁💪
Oh my goodness! Right when I saw that poop string I knew this is exactly what was wrong with my fish! Thank you thank you thank you! I prayed for an answer for what was wrong and Jesus led me to your video!! I’m so grateful for you for recording this!

Sometimes its from the fish eating too much food.

But the choice to follow one persons opinion over anothers is always yours 🤷♂️ And i say "opinion" just to be safe, but some guys have videos of the living parasites in the tank after a fish poops...so theres that too.
My Focus says use 1:1 not 1:5 please double check. Thanks for your videos
It has been updated since this video. Check the videos description 😁
Great video keep up the good job.
Thanks 😊
Good luck with your fish brother! When we gonna get the update video on the bio home?
Thanks bro, 2 months to go to hit the 4 month mark...I’ll do my best to make it a good one 💪
Hey Kev, you’re the go to man! You’ve got a video for every single thing I’m experiencing as a noob. When you say the quarantine combo (paraguard/metroplex) do I go half and half on each medication or full on each per serving?
Glad to hear you're finding the channel helpful! 😊 Go full dose of each for at least the first week!
Thank you for this informative information. We lost our OB dragon blood peacock today, and will be treating the tank.
So sorry to hear that! Glad I could be helpful, hopefully there’s time to save the other fish! Good luck
@@KaveManAquatics Thank You.
Thanks for this video. It's been very helpful as I'm new in this hobby. Greetings from Mexico City. By the way, I haven't named my fishes yet.

Awesome!!
Thanks for a great video.
Glad you liked it!
Please make a video about why we get internal parasites 🙏, or tell us here in the comments section.
Parasites are always present in your tank. When your fish get stressed, which can happen for a ton of reasons, they become susceptible to parasitic diseases.
Great video
Informative, clear and precise
The presentation itself exactly as I needed
Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Yes, I name everyone of my fish as well.
🤣🤣 Good to know!
My betta fish is sick I’ve treated the water with E.M. Erythromycin and it’s not helped. He hasn’t eat in 4 days. I’m afraid he’s going to die before I get him help
Great vid thanks.. I'll try this on my wild discus that don't want to eat..
Glad I could help! 😊
Thank you! Love your video, very helpful and clear!

This is the problem, you can't get any medication, from any fish stores anymore, they don't sell it

Thank you! Glad you're finding the channel helpful! 😁💪
Hi Kev, "Lets Go". 😄😄. I'm a subscriber. I love your videos because they are easy to follow and understand. They are very informative as well. I have 2 Tetra fish that are not eating and I don't see any long white stringy poop coming from them. There are no signs of Ick either. The pink one is very active but the blue one spends a lot of time at the bottom of the tank hiding. The blue one has also become very pale in color with sunken belly. He will swim around at times. So I saw one of your videos on why your fish have stopped eating. You said to change the brand of food, I did to a more vitamin riched food with smaller pellets. I also ordered Seachem Metroplex and Seachem Focus. As for the Seachem Garlic Guard do you recommend using fresh garlic juice?? Also saw another of your videos saying that I can treat the whole tank, I only have those 2 fish anyway for now. You also mentioned Epsom Salt mixture can be added to tank as well with these above named products. How often do I do water changes if any and for how many days do I treat???
You're very informative thank you
Glad it was helpful!
You a legend bro
Thank you my bro! 😁💪
