Your worms to me look like bloodworm? I feed them to my elephant nose & they bury into the substrate, gave some to my betta & found some in his sand it was a few weeks since I fed him them yuck!

Not looking good

Whats going on?

 

[bkiggy]

The gold Cory is sick. Body slime and cloudy eyes. In hospital tank with Furan 2. Becoming aggressive. Only moves to gulp air. Eats very little

 

[bkiggy]

Rapid breathing starting. Panting. He is going to die soon I suspect

 

[jlk]

I am so sorry!!! Do you have methylene blue? You could try doing a bath to see if this helps at all. Do any of your other fish have any symptoms?

 

[bkiggy]

No no one else is sick. Orange Cory has become aggressive toward others. Anyone entering his space gets very upset. He really doesn't feel good. I actually started treating tank with Voogle. To try to help him and keep everyone else happy and healthy.

 

[bkiggy]

Progress . Did 10 gallon water change. Dosed with Voogle. Cory swimming around more.
I can't get the lid off filter, so unfortunately carbon is in there....

Hope for the best! Look at the thread above yours (something is on my cardinal)- I posted alink on this thread to aq bugs. Theres pic of tubifex worms- they look alot like your worms.

 

[bkiggy]

Could be JLK. How would they get there?

 

[jlk]

Do you have live plants? This is one guess. What type of fish food do you feed? Evidently, they can encyst themselves & can survive being dried out/starved when in this condition and theres some reference to the cysts getting into fish food. I honestly dont know for sure! ???

 

[bkiggy]

All live plants. About 15 total. I've heard the larve can live in food then hatch. ;(. Or they were stow a ways on plants and I didn't know it
