Possible worms in my tank...help!

[bahamaqt00]

Alright so we just recently traded out a small fish in our tank. The person took the fish home and treated for worms and said they saw a couple good round worms come out. Does this mean all of the fish in our tank have worms?! If so we could tread with the prazi pro or whatever it's called. But can you treat the whole tank with that (a 250gal tank) or do we need to take the fish out 1 by 1 and treat in a hospital tank? All of our fish are between 10" and 20" so that would be really difficult. Also, if we have to take them out one by one wouldn't treating them and then throwing them back into the infected tank just not work? If that makes sense?

Thanks!

Might be a little late to respond, but what color are the worms?

Wait until you actually know your fish have worms. Then if you are sure, I would treat the whole tank.

Yep, I have em and will use praz-tastic to wipe em out.
What ever happened in your situation?

What kind of worms? Were they red? If they were red then Prazi won't work on them. You will need to treat your whole tank with Levamisole HCL. Twice, three weeks apart, with as large a water change as possible right before, and 24 hours after you start the treatment. I bought mine from Foy's pigeon supply (online.)
