SilveRx Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Hi Hoping to get a solution to this, a couple of these german blue ram originally bred in my tank have developed these worm like shape on the eyeballs. They also don't have much colors to them compare to the male/female pair. The original pair didn't seem to develop any symptoms and the rest of the community tank have no symptoms of this as well. Only the 6 surviving tank bred ram has these 3 of which past away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 What are your water parameters and can you see any movement in worm like things in the eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilveRx Posted May 17, 2021 Author Share Posted May 17, 2021 ph 6.4-6.8 ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate maybe 5-10 water change 4 days ago photo of male and the worm like shape doesn't seem to move. I guess more like squiggly line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Raise your water temp to between 81 and 83 degrees, treat with an anti parasite med, and it looks like your fish may have pop eye which is usually fatal. When you change water, do you remove water from the tank and then replace it with dechlorinated water you just drew from the faucet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 It could be parasites or something else could be going on I would treat with maracyn and paracleanse to cover all bases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn't treat there parents for parasites they could have past something on if you did then it could bacterial infection then I would treat with maracyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
