I have two ten gallon tank on which I found in both little worm like parasites reproducing by tons on the glass. The fishes were showing signs of stress which is the only reason I saw the little things since they are almost invisible. I took them all out. Change the water. Clean the rocks and filter. Took the plants out and just kept it without any decoration and 15 mins later you can see one or two still on the glass.
I bought the treatment to "kill" them. Had the pill be put on one fish tank for four days following directions of replacing water and blah blah blah in between each treatment.
The ones in which I have my males in haven't shown any sign of having them (Maybe it was because the rocks were cleaned better since it was the last tank and I wanted to take them out of the dirty water fast?) While the ones with females I see a couple still :((
They have killed around 5 fishes already. I don't know what to do to get rid of them anymore T.T
I was thinking would getting a rag and cleaning the glass from the inside help get them out? cuz I think that is just going to get them to move around more...?
I've been killing them with my nail lately :P They seem to die after I keep a lot of pressure on them, then they become a white uggy crap >_>
