Hey guys

I recently noticed like 2 thin red strands coming out of my angel's anus. Am thinking its some kind of internal worm of some sort and going to get some general worming med. But anyone know what it is?

Here are some pics the best i could get. Bit blurry

You've got threadworm Dan, well at least your fish has.

All the fish in your tank will be affected as it's highly contageous.

Fortunately it's very easy to treat with a product called Levamisole at the rate of 1 ml per 7 litres of water. Leave for at least 24 hours before doing a water change, then you may need to repeat the dose again in 7 days.

Lots of information on Levamisole, and where to obtain it, in the sticky posts at the beginning of this topic.
