Fishie123 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Hello, On Wednesday, I've notice one of my cardinal tetra has a string looking thing on the side of his body? I assumed it was a string so I left it alone. Today while doing a water change I notice the string was still there. So I caught the fish and tried brushing gently it off. But it was stuck? Does anyone know what the string is? Also another one of my cardinal has a hole on there head? And another one look shrivelled up? Please help. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Is the 'string' stuck to the fish along the whole length or attached only by one end? Any possibility it is some sort of parasite that has attached itself to the fish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 It's pretty common parasite with them. Prazi will get rid of it, but I never give it too much notice when I see one cardinal with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
