Maybe it would help if you say what makes you think they have internal parasites. What symptoms are you seeing?

You might also want to check your water: PH, ammonia, nitrites and nitrates. Sometimes high levels can cause fish to act differently, although you don't always see any kind of disease like spots or fungus.

That is not internal, nor is it a parasite, so it is safe to assume it is not an internal parasite.

Sounds like it could be infected little gashes in the skin. My guess is either fungus or bacteria and I would try to find a medication that covers those two things.

Also, do check your water parameters - they may be the source of your problem..,
