Fish seems abit of listlessness n fish waste seems clear but long.

The water temp is at 72F. Tank is well cycled and been running for a year. Nitrate is at 10 PPM. PH 7.5

6 GFs in a 40g tank. I'm treating the tank with Prazi and salt at 0.3%

Could this be an internal parasite issue?

What is your water change schedule and feeding schedule?

Fred,

I got another two nice Ranchus, they are not very healthy,

But they got show quality body shape, fat n big.

So of the black one is not active and produced long clear waste.

All my old fish are look fine, as a matter of fact, they look great with an empty stomach (no more floating n flip over).

Clear waste on a fish that has eaten is usualy a sign of internal bacterial infection. sometimes a fish that has not eaten do to fasting for the shipping process will produce clear fecal matter. A fish established in the aquarium and that is has been eating should not do this.
