OMG I FOUND WORMS IN MY TANK!

[Alan]

I'd suggest to you to take in a sample of the aforesaid worms with you to Hamilton

and show it to Brian (Goldfishbowl) or make arrangements to link up with a Waikato Club member.

One preferably with a camera so as we can see the REAL thing.

Better still, join the local club.

What fish do you have in the tank??

I got $5 on Roundworm.

these free swimming worms swim with a twitching movement? i would say roundworms.

planaria will be on the glass.

[fishtv]

nope not on glass. They move really fast ans are very thin and most are small. How do you treat round worms?

I have swordtails, Silver shark, Red spot pleco, Bristlenose pleco, Algae eater and cherry barbs

I think roundworms in the Aquaria are just Camallanus, these are not white at all.

Basically worms are classed as a nematode.

Therefore any decent paracide available form the local lfs will do the trick. :roll:

Follow instuctions on bottle. If you believe these worms are harming the fish, then thats what I would do.

Probably half dose as you have scaleless fish.

Diagnosing worm species can be hard, killing them all stem back to a few medicines.

If the worms are planaria, then watch your feeding, I reckon it is too much.
