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??

Also this link might help us ID it

I got $5 on Roundworm.

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

planaria will be on the glass.

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.
