Hello everyone!
Tonight I was watching my betta eat, and I noticed a small white worm crawl out of his gills, crawl around on his skin, and then go back inside the gills. Does anyone know what this could be? I thought maybe gill flukes but I looked them up and they seemed much too small.
Some background: for the last few weeks, my betta has been looking a bit haggard and having trouble eating, but I thought it was probably just because he had recently moved tanks and the new filter was a bit strong for him (in hindsight I should’ve known something was wrong — cant cry over spilled milk though) Tonight I decided to turn off the filter for a bit to make it easier for him to eat, and thats when I saw the worm. This worries me a lot because I've had this betta for months now, quarantined it and everything, and had no problems, but that means there could have been cross contamination with my other tanks because I wasn’t specifically isolating the betta as I had thought it was disease free.
Any help would be much appreciated!
