Please help, My fish are dying

[S-kate]

My last thread was not getting any replies so I'm starting a new one. My whiteclouds seem to have some sort of parasite. One of them has a growth on its abdomen and the others have little black spots. One looked like he had a bite taken out of him and I did a water change and minutes later he was floating. he is now dead. The water perameters are normal. When I did the water change I added water conditioner and the temp was the same as the tank. Please help me save these fish. What type of parasites are these and how do I treat the fish?

go to walmart...buy some jungle parasite fizz tabs.......they treat a bunch of internal and external parasites......cheap to at least try

thank you, I put a fizz tab in, Had to take my oto out I'm always worried that medicine is going to kill those guys, their so sensative. If he starts showing symptoms I'll treat him too though. Does salt kill all parasites or just ich?

Salt kills external parasites. Are you fairly sure that's what's going on?

Here: Pandora's Aquarium See if you can diagnose your fish's problem from the extensive pics and descriptions there. Tell us what you think and maybe we can help.

I think it might be round worms, after looking at those pictures. They are more internal, but there are definately little worm like things on there scales as well.

How long have you had your mystery snail? I know snails can carry worms.
