Parasite ID?

[pollex.jaypee]

Hi everyone!

We did a fecal analysis of a betta fish and here is what we saw.

Can anyone help with identifying the parasite?
Or atleast enumerate the possible worms a betta fish can have?

Thank you very much

Well I tried to search intestinal parasites in fish to see if there was anything similar, I'm far from squeemish, but they weren't the only pics to come up and I aborted the search to avoid the heebee jeebies. It definitely looks like some kind of roundworm.

THIS IS REALLY (expletive) COOL!
(Mine is troubled with worms too)

What equipment do you use to do this?

Roundworm are nematodes. There are many to choose from. Treatment is about the same.
Broad spectrum antihelminthic.
