    Strange Guppy Disease

    the water goes foggy for a few hours anyway with wormer plus might be spelt camellanus not sure,normal parasite meds didnt work for mine either.it is classed as endo-parasite i think ie internal.mine are all doing fine now i found some advertised on ebay.but it took 2 full doses to clear it melanie

    Strange Guppy Disease

    its called wormer plus.not sure what you can get in the US.basically the worm feeds off the intestines you cannot pull them out as they attach to the intestines,do a search for camelanus on this forum or on the net for full details melanie ps it is contagious
