worms

["B Z" <kasseen10@hotmail.com>]

Okay guys - help?

I know this is a question that has been asked in the past.  I remember 
reading about it and thinking that will never happen to me.  Well ... I 
guess this is what keeping apistos is all about.  I found one of my fish 
with red worms hanging out of it's anus.  I didn't get to it immediately and 
found 2 others infected.  I pulled the group out and I'm medicating with 
pipzine.  Any suggestions?

I noticed that it is only the stressed out fish from my community tank that 
got it (stressed because of one fish being over bearing, or being moved).  I 
can't imagine where they got it from since I have had all my fish for a very 
long time.  I haven't bought a new fish since last fall.  The only thing 
different in my tank was I got that dreaded blue-green slime - which is 
starting to go away.  Jeeezz.  If it isn't one thing it's another.  Any 
suggestions are greatly appreciated.  Should I worry about the other fish?  
One one else shows any signs.

Bonny
