I just returned home from holidays and my bn appears to have a skin problem on its head. It seems like the skin there has gone white and mouldy (furry) like and is peeling off. Its just a round section. his bristles appear to be permanently 'flared' out as well.
Please help.. the other fish (6 cories and 1 tetra) appear to be fine...

ok my bn is not looking good.. im gng to treat the tank with multicure (malachite green) for now.. it appears to be some sort of fungus from what i can gather,, but if someone thinks different please post.

ok just treated the tank with multicure and these worm things appeared in the water! i hate worms!! why me!!!

i managed to catch 1 with a turkey baster and it is about 3mm in length... appears silvery when swimming in the water has a thicker black head then the rest of it body which appears segmented (just like a worm!) does anyone know what this is.. and whether it is linked to my bn problem???

the 2nd one i saw is still on the loose!
