Options for parasite treatments?

During December, I noticed one of my Rosy Barbs had some long stringy white poop. I treated the tank with API General Cure following the directions on the box. After that, I did not see any more of the white stringy poop, until this weekend. One of my Rosy Barbs again has the long white poop. It's also a little bloated, that I first noticed a couple weeks ago, but has since gone down a tad. I'd like to treat for parasites again, but since the API General Cure didn't work completely the first time, chances it will work at all this time are slim. So what are some other good options?

Here's a pic of the barb with the poop and swelling:

I’m going to give this another bump... I’ve done some looking around and I honestly can’t find much else that sound like it’d work other than the general cure - should I try that treatment again? Are there any other reliable ones? Like the aqueon one?

For internal parasites, I know a lot of people have used Levamisole with pretty good results

I hadn’t stumbled across that one when looking, but I just went and read about it - I’ll give it a shot! Thank you so much!

Aw, I'm sorry your fish aren't feeling well. I agree that levamisole is a good treatment for internal parasites. I've always had superior results with it in comparison to other medications. If you can get eSHa products where you live eSHa ndx is pure liquid levamisole

Okay! I’ll look for that! Thanks a ton!!
