New juvenile angelfish just brought home from pet store for new tank that just completed cycling. Because it's a new tank and not much invested in current stock (and because I didn't have a separate tank) they went into the tank the same day.
I noticed what I thought was some poop hanging loose, but on closer inspection (and a bit of reading) am worried it is Camallanus or similar.
I have a couple of pretty high resolution images and hope someone can tell me for sure.
I yanked both (since they were in the same tank in the store) and they are in a bucket at present, not sure if I should put them back or not (may become moot, even with a bubbler I have not sure how long they will live in a bucket).
The first is when they were still floating in the bag, and the clear, segmented appearance led me to be sure they were some kind of poop.
Here's another shot up closer, where it looks as though some of it broke off:
So do I have a serious problem, or just a new fish with a bowel problem?
