I've never cut open a dead tropical aquarium fish for the purpose of looking at its innards under a microscope. However, I'm still unconvinced that Metronidazole is COMPLETELY ineffective against internal parasites. If you want to say it's ineffective against SOME or MOST, I can't argue with you because you know more than I do. But the fact is it's marketed as a treatment for certain internal parasites and infections by several sources. Not against ALL, but at least some. " Non-prescription treatment for the control of internal and external parasites as well as some anaerobic bacterial diseases" "Metronidazole is an effective and safe treatment for several protozoan and anaerobic bacterial diseases of fish (Cryptocaryon, Hexamita, Ichthyophthirius)" - Seachem metr. "Clears external and internal parasites, including protozoans, flukes, lice, anchor worms, and flagellates such as hexamita or spironucleus. Contains dimethyl phosphonate, metronidazole, and acriflavine" - Junglelabs parasite clear Look, I can't argue with you on specifics about how these things work because you are clearly more knowledgeable in this area than I. If there's anything you can fault me for it's for sounding too definitive in what I said - but I only said it that way because I think it'll work for her. I don't think what I said was as harmful and misleading as you're making it out to be. We're all trying to help her, so let's just leave it at that. *Back in the saddle!*
