Hello, my poor blue ram female has some kind of parasite/worm/illness going on. She is very red around the anus and looks like something is trying to come out. Also her gills look inflamed. Can anyone help identify what is wrong so i can best treat it? I have tried epsom salt to clear the intestinal tract so far and food with garlic. Have just added some normal salt now.

There's a very bad photo at the link below but you can kinda see the protrusion

yeah I only get an advert to for webshot or something like that. No fish there, just two cute kids hugging for the camera lol

argh you're right! i did the link from when i was logged in, not too sure how to hyperlink it properly. anyway she has since passed away today but at least i found out the cause...last night little red worms were actually coming out of her anus! i treated with cure-ex which treats a range of worms, i think these were roundworms? but unfortunately today she was dead.
