IP help

so i think my last discus...who is now struggeling to even live. hes hardly breathing...has internal parasites.
theres this little white worm looking thing sticking from his bottom fin.

none of the other fish have shown signs, they eat great.
should i treat the whole tank?
the ghost will be going in about a month and i was planning on getting more discus...but i think i wont this time.

if i treat the tank, what with?

Yes, definitely treat the whole tank.

I've used something called Gel-Tex Ultra Cure Px for IPs, I soak the food in it, although they're supposed to eat it (none of my fish have). I haven't used it on discus, but I've fed food soaked in it to all kinds of fish, and even shrimp haven't been adversely affected by it.

Try to find a med that can be fed to the fish, as it's generally more effective than adding stuff to the water, assuming your fish are eating. There is a Jungle Anti Parasite food, but I haven't tried it.

discus are all dead.

so should i still use anti parasite food...or treat the tank with something i put into the water?

Sorry to hear that, it really sucks

I'd still treat any remaining fish.
