Flower ray with possible worms
- Thread starter FishDog
- Start date
I got home and her back is covered almost half with what looks like fungus!!!! She has two light patches down both sides of her back. I upped the salt to 4 lbs per 100 gallons and turned the temp up a touch. What else can I do about fungus?
I took a sample of her poo out today to take to work and look at under a microscope. Well when I put it in a baggy with water you can see plain as day thousands of reddish colored worms. Instead of poo it was worm clusters. You can even see tiny white eggs. I went back to work and when I just got home 5 hours later the bottom the tank has more clumps of worms and you can see them cover the floor of the tank. The ray has green slime coming out of her rectum. I left the baggy at home and the worms have doubled in it as well. I put Metro in the tank when I went to work. I triple dosed it. What kind of worms can these be? Are they a round worm? They are about the size of white planaria worms but a reddish color.
I'm so sorry to hear that! I hope that she pulls through... if you need a good antibacterial/antifungal med recommendation, just pm me.
