White hair poo

[Billy]

hi all,

i m stuck with any problem with my fish tanks. (why is it all happening to me) :cry:

i saw some fine white hair poo inside one of my 4 tanks (all going to same filter and pump).

i cant identify which fish did it now!!

Some questions i want to ask!!

1. What causes this white poo thing??
2. Can this illness pass on to other fish??
3. What and how can i treat this problem??

Thx

1. hexamita
2. will affect other fish thru faeces/white poo
3. metronidazole/flagyl

ok thx

what aquarium medication will contain "metronidazole", any suggestion??

also because i dont know which fish is sick so should i treat all the tanks at once??

Commonly sold as flagyl.
Cheapiest solution is to see a doctor and get a prescription.

Expensive solution is to see a vet.

Alternative solution is to visit knowledgable local fish store, and if you are lucky you might be able to get it under the counter.

Appropriate dosing amounts listed elsewhere on site.
