i just found this thread .. i have 5 poly's and thanks i will keep a sharp look out ....this scared the crap out of me. im now gonna go stare at my poly's and make sure they dont have worms.
Worm pic, very clear :eek:
- Thread starter CDM
- Start date
has anybody who owns a poly with this parasite noticed any other symptoms besides the spots on the fish?
i think mine has this parasite, its a greyish white spot (blotchy, unlike the above photos) , its had the spot for a while and no other fish have anything like this...i cant get a close enough view to properly identify it

This can happen if the bichir scrapes it's slime coat off. Do you have any Plecos or something similar? They'll suck the slime coat off Bichirs and it will appear as a white/grey spot. Happened to my big Ornate a few years back.
any ideas what this might be?!
unfortunately i dont have a better camera, so this is the best pic i can make
i hope these are not THE worms
btw, this is a 110 l quarantine tank, and 4 ropes, 2 endlis, and 2 lapradeis are in it for 5 days so far
i examined others (with a LED flash light
) and they seem clear

Jungle's "Parasite Guard" is now my anti-parasite med of choice for most bichirs....used at 3/4- ful dosage,it did a fantastic job of making parasites disappear for good, and did not harm my bichirs at all [note, this was used on adult and sub-adult bichirs, and has not been tested on babies....for babies, I have used a formalin solution ("Quick Cure") at full dosage with good results and no ill effects."Quick Cure", a formalin-based med works reasonably well at full dosage over a ten-day treatment, but I have been getting far quicker and better results with Jungle brand's "Parasite Guard" used at 3/4-full dosage for a single treatment
