help needed??(people using sand as substrate, attention)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Cranking up the salt should take care of the leaches right?
For crazy Vampire worms of India pull out the fish and drop in an electric tea kettle. Seriously.
Or pull the good fish and put in a sacrifice to draw out the aliens. Keep peeling them off until they are no more.
Or no fish+heat+time and starve'em.
Or be original and raise up some nice Vampire worms.

Or don't worry about it. How many can there be?
Probably the best is to salt salt salt and stir up the sand.
But I'm no expert if you can't tell.
 
More salt.
1tps/10 gal is not much.
That's just the recommendation for general heath.
I have way more than that sometimes and the snails are cool with it.
So I doubt it is enough to kill a leach.
Use as much as your fish can take.
I don't know what the limit is for a FH.
You might want to build up slowly though.
 
thanks guys
 
I wonder if this was some sort of internal parasite one of the other fish you raised in this tank had and maybe crapped out. It has lived in the sand since. Your FH comes along and he gets a worm on the face....
 
i doubt it is a internal parasite then it wouldn't be out on the body of my fish and getting fat and blood red
i doubled the amount of salt in my tank and i don't see any leeches on him
will be doing a water change and will be moving the
sand around a little bit
lets see what happens i shall update again
