Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Most of my harlequin rasboras have these strings coming out of their bums, I'm guessing probably worms but as the lfs is shut now any of you advise? I've attached a picture but I'm afraid I couldn't get a decent one as the harlequins never stay still!!
It just looks like a fine brown string...I thought it might be just poo but I've never seen them do this before and it seems to be 4 out of the 6 of them.
They live in a 27 gal tank with 5 x ray tetras and a whiptail catfish. I only got the whiptail yesterday so I guess he might have something to do with it but not sure that 24 hours would be enough for something like worms to take root? The harlequins have been in the tank about 2 months and the tetras about 3 months.
I feed them nutrafin flakes which they were fed at the lfs before I bought them too.
Any suggestions as to what it might be and how to treat?
