macka Posted January 16, 2003 Report Share Posted January 16, 2003 I am a bit dumbfounded to what i have annoying my fish. There is a wee white worm with a sharp pointed head swimming in my tank and attaching itself to my oscars and siam tiger, there also appears to be a wee white bug crawling on them as well and causing abit of strife with the fish. They dont appear to be planirians forgot how to spell it as i have had them before and didnt cause this problem. The worm things are causing a secondry infection to flair up. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copper (as copper sulphate) would almost certainly kill them, along with any other invertebrates in your tank. It's dangerous and toxic stuff (to fish etc) so be very careful. A pale blue solution, added dropwise to the tank can work. Chuck a couple of sacrificial snails in, when they die - stop dosing. Be sure to do water changes ASAP to dilute the copper again... YMMV.
