Depends.. IT could be a pH problem, as it was HIGH then went low OR visa-versa..
A NEW tank, and that could be HIGH ammonia, to NITRITES.. In a tank that has been running for months, check for NITRATES..
Do you check these weekly AND is this a NEW tank??
I dont' like to treat for a parasite that you might NOT have.. SO check the above..
Usually a good tank cleaning and CLEAN filter is all that is needed... BUT dont' rule out the pesky parasite just yet..
