Two of my female apistos are experiencing some infestation or infection. I do not know what they are but currently treating with melafix. I am going to get some Jungle Lab Parasite Clear today and will feed some tetracycline infused fishfood (if needed). Please help i.d. this.

Looks like a camallanus infection (intestinal nematodes). Seek a medication that will target those specifically. Levamasole, mebendazole, trichlofon and niclosamide (according to Bassleer).
