Worm ID

[Gabriel Garcia]

So just brought a lawnmower Benny home. He is going in to qt but when acclimating him I saw a worm in the bag with him. It's tiny white worm. Was in a ball then stretched out and started crawling. Here is a picture hope it helps.

A bit to hard to ID from the picture.
IMO, Just not worth adding it to your DT when you don't know what it is - when in doubt, throw it out!

Of course no matter what fish is going through qt just wanna know what extra steps I might wanna take.

If it's in the bag with a fish there's a good chance that it is a parasite. I would not put that fish or that worm near my display tank for any of my system

Could be flukes may want to prazi the qt.

Fish is going in to qt

I have prazi pro on hand and use in qt process as a precaution. I may do a FW dip just in case. Would it matter if I did it after putting him to the qt tank or should I do it first?

 

[jetmaker]

Should be OK either way

I would definitely run the fish thru Prazipro, in addition to your normal QT protocol.

 

[jetmaker]

Don't think that's a fluke but I don't know what it is.

As an experiment, I would put that worm looking thing in a glass jar or something and hit it with Prazipro. See if Prazi kills it.

Test 101 lol

So I got it in a bucket. One white light looks more tan or brown in color. Dosed the bucket with prazi pro about 5 min ago. So far he lives.

Throw that worm out along with all of the water in the bag the blend came with. QT the fish and treat.

That's all the water right there in the bucket. There looks like at least four more all so small you can't really see them. Makes you wonder how many more there are that I can't see. Fish is in qt tank now.
