I have 2 types of worms in my tank..both seem harmless. Since there is no way I can take a picture of them because they are so small I was wondering if there is a good site to help identify them. The first type looks like dust in the tank..so small but when you look close the worms are wiggly like they are having a seizure. The other type inches along the glass and is just a tad bigger than the dust worms..maybe a flatworm of some sort.
eeww... i put zentel in the tank if there's worms swimming about. the meds is for human.most parents give this meds to kids if they have worm issues.you know what i mean don't you. i had a worm infestation in my pearl arowana tank. scaled the whole tank and everything with hot water then added zentel to help kill of the worms in an on the arowana.
I know it is probably a stupid question but how do you get worms in your tank? Does it come in from food, fish Pooh or plants? Don't your fish eat them? I thought fish liked live food, wouldn't this be a good addition to their diet? Maybe you should just skip a day of feeding so they need to get a little hungry and forage instead of just waiting for handouts at the top of the tank? Just a thought.
I have no idea what zentel is or how to use it. Do you know where these come from or what they are? And does it matter what inhabitants you have if you use zentel?
I assume it is non prescription and I just did a search and I guess it is only available to order online. The generic price is like $80 for 30 pills??? Does this sound right?
expensive stuff right.it cost 4.50 a pill here and we don't need prescriptions here so i wouldn't know.most likely it isn't as it's not a controlled subtance.
Yeah..I think I got rid of most of them with a good water change..they got so bad my thousands of MTS refused to dwell in the substrate. It was obviously was caused by overfeeding and not cleaning my substrate well enough..but somehow I forgot to change out my generic filter cartridge which pretty much didn't help. So I bought a new filter...that sucks 5 times as much debris out of the water. On my way to having no worms..
thats great news.im happy you got them under control
