Sorry missed out the reply for this bro.

Since you already mix it in, better to treat the whole tank.

You can get Parasite Clear tablets (currently Tetra brand) to cleanse them all. So far, its the best and most effective medication against parasites from other bros feedback.

Hi Gavin, Tetra Parasite Guard would definitely be the best medication for your case; if not for one caveat, it's availability. Should you actually manage to get it in Singapore (I had to bring in mine from the US), do take note that the dosage is 1 tablet per 40 liters of water with one packet containing 8 tablets.

Should you not be able to get this medication, another good alternative would Eiho Parzi Gold, which essentially contains the same ingredients as Tetra Parasite Guard, namely Praziquantel. And yes, both medications can be used preventatively and are catfish and ray safe.

Hope this helps.
