Hey all,

I have a baby fire eel (about 7") that I'm worried might have or get internal parasites; possibly nematodes. He has been eatiing frozen bloodworms for about 2 months but I switched (about a week ago) to live earthworms. The worms are all young. Some are wild and some have been cultivated by myself in soil. The soil hasn't been steralized or anything though.

How might I treat internal parasites in a fire eel? I have heard that they are very sensitive to medications. Any info would be appreciated..I'd hate to lose this little guy :'(
