Schwack, thanks so much for the insight! I honestly haven't been able to determine what type of worms the fish have. I'm betting its got to be camallanus, being that they still have all the symptoms of worms after treatments. I went ahead and ordered the meds from select aquatics. hoping it arrives before I loose the two I had to separate. this might seem insensitive of me, but if I loose any fish before the treatment arrives, I'm going to attempt to dissect the bodies to see if I can see any worms inside their stomachs. Seems to be the next step for me to confirm what is going on in my tank. 😞 if I don't find worms, I will officially have no idea what is going on with my tank.

Thankyou for the insight Jollypop4321. 🙂 iv been doing my best with gravel vacs and water changes. One of the gourami is looking like she isn't going to make it. I had to move her to a separate tank today as well. as I moved her she released a long string of white poo. I've ordered meds to make medicated fish food and going to try fish food meds. will see if she made it by the time the meds arrive. found a vid from kg tropicals about how to make the food. i have a feeling i might be a bit too late though for that poor gourami. worst case scenario if I loose all my fish, I'm just going to leave the tank as a planted tank for a month and keep treating the tank until I'm confident the worms are dead because i think they will have a hard time surviving without hosts.

It hasn't been a 2 month straight treatment. I've been giving breaks to the fish. I've tried prazipro already. I've been taking preventive measures from worms in the water column with the prazipro, salt, and paracleanse. The only thing I have not tried is to get meds into the fish body to treat the worms already inside their stomachs, but unsure where to get medicated food or how to make it. I've moved a guppy that looks the worst into a sperate tank. uploading pics of the infected tank and the most sick fish that is separated. its hard to see but the rest of the fish stomachs are blown up and have been producing long white stringy poop. iv already lost 7 fish to these parasites. 😞 the pic of the guppy has a red thing on her side, I'm wondering if its camallanus worms.

I have a 30 gall bowfront aquarium that is heavily planted. tank has a few guppies, 10 cardinal tetra, 5 dwarf gourami, 6 neon dwarf rainbow fish, hundreds of baby mystery snails and 6 cory cat fish. I can add pics of the tank once I get home for better help. I've been fighting internal parasites for almost 7 months now. slowing loosing a fish or two every month. I have been using the med trio for 2 months now and have tried dosing salt. i think those medications aren't getting into the stomachs of the fish for treatment. most of the fish still appear to be eating with the exception of a few guppies and all fish I have seen with long stringy white feces. the only thing I haven't tried is medicated fish food. Dose anyone have any good recommendations for either making my own medicated fish food, or finding some online to purchase? I'm having a hard time finding any online for sale.

Hey team, I was sent this email, I think they meant to send this to go to the coop. I'm not sure if you care to have this or already got this but i thought id attempt to get it too you anyhow. I don't have your email and unsure how else to get this to you so I'm posting this for anyone within the coop to receive this. Email sent - Dear Corey, We manage Airbnb's and regular 12 month Apartments in a single High Rise building in center of downtown Memphis. We are not luxury, but certainly historic. About 2 months ago one of residents moved out and left 20 gal Hexagon aquarium with guppies, that we discovered 3 weeks or so later. Well, fast forward, today, I got 5 55g, 2 125g, 45g bowfront and planning to custom build something large ~1000g. Can't stop watching all your YouTube videos and all I now think in the free time is what shrimps I can put with with what fish etc. Which got me thinking how to really capitalize on pleasant with productive and hopefully profitable time spent. www.exchangesuites.com is our site and building I am talking about. First Cotton Exchange in Memphis housed there back in the days. Everyone knows the building locally. I have never been or seen a fish tank lounge, certainly not in Memphis or surrounding regional area. Would Co Op be interested jointly doing something with such a spin? Kindly, Gulam

After a night in sick bay, she is still breathing but laying on her side. the wounds are so deep I'm unsure if she will make it, but I don't have the heart to give up on her. Its hard to watch but I know if I was in her place I would want my doctor to keep trying for me even if I was in pain. I read that the longest a fish can go without eating is 7 days, so come next Wednesday if I cant get her to move, I'm going to have to euthanize her. I've tried to feed her a single extra small frozen blood worm, but she would not take it. I think she is too focused on breathing which I don't blame her. I'm treating her with API Melafix, and have added a teaspoon of salt on the day of the injury. she's in her own 20 gallon high quarantine tank with plants and lots of fine bubbles above her gills to help her breathe being that I don't think she can move. every 4 to 8 hours ill take her in my hand to the surface to get some air as well, being that she is an anabantoid.

okay thank you for your time and help.

she doesn't appear to be bleeding, but has sever scars and bits of her body torn. she is very alive and gills are moving but she is laying upside down. i have her in a net to above a very calm bubble to help her breathe. il add a photo. i feel like salt will hurt her wounds but ill give it a shot.

Please help, about 25 mins ago my neon blue dwarf gurami got injured from rock falling on her. she is still alive with sever scars but is not moving. i want to try to save her if its not too late! iv moved her to quarantine tank and added meleflex to help. is there anything i can do. i want to post a picture but unsure how!
