Parasite med recommendation?

[captmicha]

What's a parasite (internal and external) med that's safe for sensitive cichlids, crustaceans and plants? If it matters, my water is soft and acidic.

What I usually use isn't safe for all these conditions present at once.

Seachem Paraguard

I have pretty good results with Paraguard

Tetra parasite guard

Tetra parasite guard & quick cure seems to work for me.

Disclaimer- i am not telling you these are safe i would research all of them to determine your best treatment. Praziqauntel, acriflavine and metronidazole are all good so is paraguard but ime not as good. I have had success with prazipro but there are several other products with various combinations of the three. metro may not be good for inverts. Do a search on each one, if you find one you want to use I can tell you which products contain it. Be careful because some of the products are cocktails so one ingredient may be okay but the other may not.

I know the Tetra one and Quick Cure aren't invert safe.

I need to look at Paraguard. I don't want to use the combination Polyguard if I don't have to.

I've used Paraguard safely with inverts.

I've fed metronidazole-infused flake food with inverts and not had any problems.
