2014-7-18 microscopy of stringy white stool

One of classic leopards hasn't eaten much in bout 2 weeks.  Have used levimasole and lately Prazipro & Epsom's salt.  Here's some microscopy & photos of the poop.  One of the micrograph's is of a single long wom-like parasite with hooks on the end.  The other videos are of pieces of the stringy-poop with numerous other smaller organisms that have a two-pronged caudal region and a head that is difficult for me to identify.

2014-7-27

90 gal = 342 liters

Battling algae still.  It's wiped out my background plants except the Carolina Bacopa.  Also have had problems with cyanobacteria.  One of my problems is that I was overdosing EI and I haven't for the last couple of weeks.  i need to monitor nitrates and phosphates more closely.

Need to get video, jpg's to home computer of the stool.

One of the large classic leopards has had the stringy white poop.  Have used levimasole in the large and QT tank.  The leopard has not responded thus far.  Hasn't eaten much in 10-14 days.  Added Epsom's salt to help clean him out and the Prazipro today in hopes of improvement.  He still looks okay.
