DiscusLover Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I notice these red strings that come out everytime my angelfish spawn, is this something to be worried about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Zenzo Posted December 9, 2022 Administrators Share Posted December 9, 2022 To me, that looks like it could be camallanus worms. If so, I would treat the tank with Expel-P right away. If you Google "camallanus worms angelfish" and look at images, it looks very similar/identical to what your photos show. Good luck...and treat the tank if that's what it is.

Unfortunately, aquarium salt won't do the trick. Once you get Expel P, make sure to dose appropriately...and you may have to do it a couple of time. The article linked above should help.

nabokovfan87 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 @DiscusLover black out the tank for 24 hours when dosing the med. It's broken down by the lights. 😞 Minimum 3 treatments. Here is the video on the method of treating for worms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
