AquaAggie Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Maybe this is a silly question, but are microfish (pygmy cories, phoenix/mosquito/chili rasboras, etc) still at risk of having worms. I mean I guess anything can happen but is it typical in these small species, or is it typically only in larger (meaning not these microfish)? I hope that makes sense? Is there a general size cutoff under which we don't really see fish get worm infections? Wondering if I need to prophylactically deworm them like I have taken to doing in my other fish!
