ummm... ok!!
SO I bought 250 guppies today and a few of them maybe 20-30 had what looked like 1 little orange-ish colored egg on the body in different places on each of the 20-30 (1 orange "egg" PER FISH) so when i noticed it i pulled one out TO inspect, on the first one it was kind of deep on the back spine area couldnt do much to see it, the second one i pulled out had it near his tail and was closer to the surface and when i popped it, it was a white worm.. what kind of worm are these?

my next problem is that i had already added about half of these guppies to the tank with my 8 BABY ORINOS and they consumed almost all of them I DONT KNOW IF ANY OF THE ONES THEY ATE HAD THESE ( "ORANGE EGGS" )WORMS ON THEM!!:nilly::nilly:

WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE SURE MY PBASS DONT GET THESE? I ALREADY PULLED THE REST THAT WERE IN THE TANK OUT AND FLUSHED THEM AWAY!

I CURRENTLY HAVE THE TANK AT 88-89'F and salt in the tank to treat the PBASS for ICH. they are in a 55gallon by themselves


PLEASE HELP!!:popcorn:
 
best to do is hope for the best.. and salt.....

it seems these guppy u bought was a bad idea... dont feed fish with live food/ feeders...
 
DO U KNOW What kind of worms these are? are they really bad?
 
sheesh. i dont know. never seen that before.

here's a site on parasites. maybe you can find a match here. it has descriptions of each.

i know you hate to hear this but before you feed anything to your fish you should quaratine them,.....but the best to do is a water change and salt keep your temps high with small peas anyways because they are prone to many diaseas
