C Micropeltes and crap

[contender]

yeah, so i was checking out my micropeltes like i usualy do, and it happened to be taking a crap.

i dont know what micropeltes crap looks like, but this reminded of a tapeworm. long, flat and white.

do micorpeltes crap look like tapeworms?

if anyone can help me with this, it would answer a lot of questions..

thanks.

I have never reared micropeltes before... but from what i know.. fish with white crap means fish is not crapping well, which means fish is not feeling well.

Many fish get tape worms, also round worms, there are severaal anti worm food available , one is made by Jungle, garlic oil can help keep worms from getting established but once they do you need something stronger.

when i saw your title i thought there be a showdown of carp vs sh?
what's crap actually? taking **** u mean?

happened to mine quite often. Whitish, long and thin **** coming out. Quite slimy and elastic and sticks to plants and strainer.

I would take a closer look at your fishes "crap". It really sounds like a worm to me. I would take one of these "craps" out of the tank (gloves would be a good idea, as parasites are dangerous) and try to see if it is segmented or has a head.

guppy i thought garlic juice kills parasite if you use it long enough?

thanks for all the comments.

yeah, crap is just a real juvenile way to say 'bowel movement'.

but, it looks like a tapeworm to me. i know tapeworms arent fatal with humans, and some doctors say they are healthy. how bout with fish?

he def isnt feeling 100%. split fins, and always eating...
