My beloved marble Angel has been suffering for close to a month now with nemotode worms...I can see them protruding from its anus. The Angel has barely eaten anything for close to a month. It seems interested in the food, eats it and then spits it out.
I have removed it from my main tank when I noticed it, I have raised the temperature to over 90 F
I have treated with API internal parasite cure to no avail.
From what I have read, Lemavosole (sp?) is the beat treatment but I cannot find it anywhere
The fish looks fine (not sure how it is still alive after not eating for close to a month). It reacts well, swims fine, it just does not eat, and those damn worms sticking out are making me sick
Any advise would be greatly appreciated. I feel time is running out
