Tape worm & Medication

[reiki_magick]

Hi Guys & Girls,

My large orange marble became thin and developed fin rot on its dorsal and tail fins, and had stopped eating.
3 days ago I started treating my 4'x2'x18" community tank with aquamaster Fluke & Tapeworm Tablets.
The discus (7) all seem to have lowered their fins and are all hiding in one corner of the tank. The orange marble is still not taking food and doesn't appear to be making a recovery.
I'd like to know whether it would be safe at this stage to start a treatment of aquamaster Multicure at this stage, or something else, to see if it adds any help to them.

Love to hear from you.....

Cheers from down under planet Earth..

Welcome to the forum Pete.

No I wouldn't be adding anything else to the tank at this stage.

Sounds like they're not having a good reaction to the fluke and tapeworm tablets, so I'd start doing some big water changes.

Start with a 50% change, then do another 50% after 24 hours and another one 24 hours later then go back to your normal twice weekly water changes.

Maintain your temp at 30 degrees, and hopefully the combination of warmth and the clean water will make them feel better, and begin eating again.
