Worms!

[Kathy55g]

One of my 2 week olds died. As usual, I checked under the scope and saw



a bunch of tiny wiggling worms all around the dead fish!

Never saw these before.
So, does this mean that my parent fish have worms and gave them to the babies?

If so, should I deworm the parents, and if I do, will they stop spawning?

Scavenging organisms most certainly.Nothing to worry about.

If the parents got worms it willl be internal. Depending on the treatment they will keep spawning. And what Luis said is the cause.
