that's the only answer i've seen online, nobody seems to know what the worm is called. i just fear pulling the worm and the worm not letting go of the fish's insides, whether that kills him sooner or a bacterial infection gets to em later.Don’t listen to only me, but maybe net the fish out and remove the worm by hand?
i'll look into that, thank youNot sure how it will work in saltwater but for hard to clear worms I’ve used levamisole with freshwater fish. You can either get close to pure levamisole powder online or go to a farm supply place and get a product called prohibit which is a cattle dewormer and is like 90% levamisole. I used it to clear up some camallanus worms on some oscars. Just be sure to look online for dosages and best of luck if you use it and use it carefully it is potent.
took it out the tank it's dead, but a new worm appeared or it's like the same worm but it's leaving the body? a marine biologist at a store wasn't able to identify the wormFind and get rid of that worm !!
you think it would eat the worm while it's in the firesfish gills?May be time for a 6 lined or lunare wrasse that will eat them
While in gills, likely not but if you saw another, there may be moreyou think it would eat the worm while it's in the firesfish gills?
had him in qt for over a month, i took out the worm after he fell out the gills.While in gills, likely not but if you saw another, there may be more
by internet knowledge they are common for firefish to have but i've had two marine biologists tell me they had no idea what the worm was, and one of them went to school for marine parasites... so much ocean, so much not known i guess
