SamanthaStorm Enthusiast Posts: 190 Kudos: 190 Votes: 51 Registered: 11-Nov-2004	Hey guys, I was just about to start treating my tank for what i believe to be worms, with the Jungle Anti-Parasite food. It says not to feed any other food in the three days i am feeding them this food. I have a some corys and a pleco in my tank, so can i not feed them their algae discs, and jsut hope they get enough food? Any suggestion! Thanks Sam

Take a look at this site, if they look something like this (these are on a much larger scale) then it's Planaria. Don't worry they are harmless to your fish it's just a sign of poor water quality due to overfeeding of your fish. I had them (and maybe still do, but I'm treating Ich and haven't had the lights on for 2 days now). http://badmanstropicalfish.com/articles/article1.html There's also another post in FP on Planaria where the poster had some neat close-up pictures of these worms, but I don't remember where I'd seen it, sorry. Hope this helps Last edited by bala shark at 20-Jan-2005 17:47

I am sure they can go without food for at least a week without any problems at all. Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
