3 CAE in my 15g growing dock weed, by the window. I noticed the big belly for about 3 - 4 weeks now, and just looked closely and saw something moving inside the fish. It does not seem like directly under the skin, but moved along the pipe-like things - maybe inside intestines. It is when the SAE suckles on the glass I can notice the movement. It is like the aliens grows and wiggles in human body in the movies
The fish is still eating/pooping and looks normal otherwise. I stopped giving the dock weed to feed the other tank. Anyone knows what it is?
How to get rid of this if it is true parasitical?
Appreciate the input.
