Hey guys just having some troubles with my fish tank, well its been going on for a while now.
First off it started with small black dots all over my fish, i got some blue dye to try fix the problem (Wardley Ickaway formula) which temporary fixed my fish from laying near the bottom and breathing rapidly and acting lethargic. I stopped using it after about 5 weeks as i had to leave for a week or two.
After i came back my fish were fine for a few weeks until they started acting strange again, repeated treatment and also got some para-gone tablets to try kill out any parasites if any were in the tank.
I have been using the ickaway for about 4 - 5 weeks now and still no sign of improving. Yesterday i came in to find one of my barbs was dead and it was not even the one i thought was sick.
This morning i was cleaning the tank and i noticed that a 2-3 inch long red worm that looked very similar to a beach worm that came out of the substrate, just wondering if anyone could help ?
Ill post some pictures of the black dots on the fish soon
