Ouch. (none / 0) (#3)

I'd put them to sleep, and start over. I'd bleach the tank, it's rocks, filters, and anything that's been in it (like the net) and then dechlorinate it all, and set it back up.

Is that my only option? Should I not try treatment? I don't want to lose my babies again! I already had to start over basically after a fin rot incident =(

I have no idea how they came to the tank either, I'm sure it was from a new fish and I just didn't notice them there... Some places I've looked at mention that the worms have a complicated life cycle so to not worry about them much as they won't infest the tank. I couldn't find anything on the net tho that perfectly described or looked like what this fish has!! I think they look like worms, but at the same time I'm not positive what they are, as they aren't quite "wormy", they look stiff really, not flexible like you think a worm would be. I don't know what to do =( It's my irridecent blue female that is showing these "worms". But there are about 4 or 5 others that are looking a little overly bloated, even for being pregnant. I'm going to call my local LFS and see what the owner says. Maybe he will have some ideas =(
