Hey!
I bought a bunch of clownies a while back and one of them, though showing healthy behavior, did not grow and was lacking in color. Also, although he ate, he always looked emancipated. Then I noticed his waste was white and knew he had some kind of worm. I looked at treatments and they all looked extremely harsh and I dont want to use them. Is there another, less drastic treatment? I had decided to leave it to fate, but every time I see him, I feel sorry for him.
Are they contagious? None of my other fish seem to have contracted them but I am worried that when he dies, the parasite will look for a new host
