Looks like camullanus worms I would treat with levamisole in food that's the active ingredient in Expel p if their not eating I would treat the tank once a week for 4 week's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichNJ Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 sounds good, will try that and report back in a few. I don't think it's too bad, only just lost a few so far in a growing colony of livebearers, so I think I am catching it early enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
