    Default Help ID disease

    So my discus does not have tape worms at least I think. Treating with Metro now. Now I found that the cardinal tetar has something.

    On a cardinal, it actually some like some a tiny shite pump. I caught the fish and popped it out and it look peachy in colour and a bit chubby. Silly me destroyed the evidence.

    I caught this green tetra in my 2g wall aquarium that came from the same batch of cardinal.

    Can some help ID the parasite / disease. I think it came from the same batch of fish I picked up.

    Also apprecaite your advise on treatment.

    I see the white worms near the vent. I have seen these before in a friend's tank. The worms seem to work their way out of the fish from within. My friend has been using different meds to try to fight it. Most often, it may take a while before they start appearing in the fish. What is it (good question)? What treats it (another good question)? Enquiring minds would like to know !

    Respectfully,

    Stuart
