Sooooo...Ive got worms! Add them to the never ending list of problems
Ive just finished treating my 34L guppy/endler tank with melafix and pimafix for a sick female (which worked a treat) but now ive just found worms- ive never had them before so need help identifying them so i cant properly nuke them!
I initially found a few tiny whiteish spikes showing out the anus of one of my pregnant females (who is due any day) and on closer inspection saw another female with 1 in her butt too. I did a 30% water change and full gravel vac just to check i was actually seeing worms and in the bucket there were numerous wriggly things some white tiny ones, some pale pink and some bigger red ones too (water parameters are perfect). From my brief googling i can only assume they are camallanus but really do need some verification because ive never dealt with any type of worms before.
Im very concerned that my entire tank is now infected and i dont want to loose any fish if i can help it so need to urgently sort this out- ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED!!!
