![]() | Small Black Internal Worms |
misty666660![]() Hobbyist Posts: 68 Kudos: 61 Votes: 1 Registered: 05-Aug-2004 ![]() ![]() | Hi, One of my angelfish has small black worms inside its body. It is a gold angel so i'm able to see these guys inside its gills, and have recently spotted one in its muscle tissue. I was not entirely concerned before as this fish seems perfectly healthy, and they have not spread to any other fish, but am beginning to become concerned as they seem to be multiplying (although very slowly). What should i treat with? Any ideas about what these worms are? Thanks! |

This kind of infestation can spread rapidly to other fish in the tank, and can be lethal. I would isolate the affected fish and treat ASAP with a broad spectrum antiparasitic. Levamisole HCL, Metronidazole, Prazinquental, any of these should work. Come Play Yahtzee With Me! http://games.atari.com Http://www.myleague.com/yahtgames |
