Ok guys.. Here's my story.. I have a fish tank that I have been using for guppies for a while. I'm pretty sure that it is fully cycled as I've had it for about 2 months with no nitrites or ammonia.. and my nitrate readings are good. It never actually had an ammonia spike though, so I'm not sure what's going on with that.
Anyway I've had a really hard time getting these guppies to stay alive. I'd say I've probably killed about 5 or 6 of them in the 2 months that I've had the aquarium. Long story made short, I haven't been able to figure out why they are dieing when all my readings are good...
Then this morning I went in to look at my tanks and 2 of my 3 guppies that I have some sort of worms or something hanging out of them... They aren't actually moving and they are like black in color.. maybe brown but they are really dark... I saw on here that there is a kind of worm (camallanus) that comes out of the anus area but this is coming out of their sides... by their fins. I will attatch pictures. If you know what this is PLEASEEEE help me! I need to know exactly what products to buy and how to treat it! Thanks so much in advance!
