Sloany Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Hi Frankenstrat,Unfortunately she has intestinal worms which are the red stringy fibres you can see. They are treatable but I can't recall the treatment off hand. I'll see what I can find and come back to you. Hopefully someone else can suggest a treatment and post it up.

Phenomena Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 The photo is blurry. it looks like callamanus worms. Nasty parasites. Google it and you can find some info how to treat. Levamisole HCL comes to mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankenstrat Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 great success, i used the vitrasol plus @ 1 tab per 10 litres,watched the worms start to die within minutes, its been 24 hours and no ill effects on the fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
