jadams7 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 So today I was having a close look at my 4 1/2" Hawaiian Snoball (glorified domino) and I noticed 2 very small paracite/worm like things sticking off of him. They are white, and so small that my camera could not capture a picture of them. I would normally look up anything like this in my handy little aquarium book, but it is packed away and I can not seem to find it. I looked and my other fish do not have anything on them. Does anyone know what this might be, and how to treat it before it spreads to anything else? And if there is any medication (take note that this is not a fish only tank) has anyone had success with any certain one? Thanks for the help guys! -Jase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 They look like worms or could it be an isopod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadams7 Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 Looks more like a worm. Both of them (the worms) were gone today when I looked, could they have fallen off to reproduce in the sand or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hmmm odd. I guess just keep an eye out. Does the fish look like it has a wound from where the worms were attached? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
