A few weeks ago, I found these Camallanus Worms in my 29 gallon aquarium.... Maybe better known as Death Worms..... These are a red parasites that can be seen sticking out of your fish’s anus. By watching this video, you will hear about my experience with Camallanus Worms and what I did to eradicate them from my fish tank.

YOUVE HELPED ME FINALLY FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG IVE ASKED SO MANY PETSTORES AND THEYVE HAD NO IDEA
Its because they want you to buy a new one
@@thegreattakedown8851 No kidding. I got one that has them from a LFS and asked if I could swap it out. No such luck, they just want me to flush it and buy a new one.
It has been extremely difficult to find information on how to treat these worms. So glad that you made this video!
Thanks so much! I’ve been in the hobby for decades and have not experienced this before. You may want to put an affiliate link in your description for this product and get some compensation for helping all of us. You rock!
Just found out about these today when I saw them protruding out of my betta. Tomorrow I will be picking up this exact product and stripping the tank down. I'm so worried. Thank you for this video. I know the chances of her surviving are low, but it's nice to know it worked for someone else and you were able to save some fish.
Scarlet Wensley Thanks, and good luck!
Have anyone tried mixing fresh garlic into the fish food?
Hello LIFG, my flowerhorn has camallanus. I was curious how you mixed with the food, I purchased fenbenzadole powder and it doesnt mix well. I will try to get fenbenzadole but this is what I have right now. Does the fish benzadole mix easily? My flowerhorn is picky what she ingests
Hi may i know what is the dosage? Also you mention to do the treatment after 2 weeks but some articles i read mention 3 weeks. Just wan to double confirm on that. Thanks.
How much do you use if you only have two fish I just got the same stuff I just need too know how much to use thanks love yr video
I have ghost shrimp and snails in my tank, does the bendazole have any side effects for them that you know of?
Should I remove the gravel? I've separated my fish into groups. The two that have the worms visibly sticking out are in one container(no gravel), the one not showing any signs in the original tank with gravel(he's been in the tank for just as long as the visibly sick ones so I assume he already has it), and 2 females are in another container(no gravel). I've been doing water changes daily since I noticed the sick fish. That's when I separated them. I'm not sure if all of them are sick or not but I'll treat them all just in case. For the original tank with the one fish inside of it should I take all of the gravel out so I can vacuum the worms as they drop? And does fenbendazole only paralyze the worms? So they would all need to be vacuumed up?
Hi! What’s the name of the treatment that you bought? I clicked on the link and it doesn’t work. Thank you so much 😊
What doses did you do this medication at for food and for water?
Glad to see you got rid of those worms :)
OMG, thank you so much I knew I had something, I was treating like you at 1st spent alot money to treat and nothing happened but was loosing fish all the time super Discouraging and thought about breaking down the hole set up on a high tech tank and restarting but a short trip to google and your video popped up thank you definitely trying this
Wesley S Don’t give up hope! Good luck!
Just got this medication. How on earth do I treat the water. Need to dose about 75 gallons between 2 tanks
First of all. You are fricken hilarious. Second of all. This story is exactly what I've been going through along with everything including the death affect. This is the perfect video for me right now because I am very upset that I have been losing all my fish. lol
I know the feels brother, glad you enjoyed the video and good luck!
Whats the ratio of powder to a 55 gal tank and they say add a entire pack to the food 4oz of food how do u split it up
Man, you've helped me a lot with this video. I've lost all my adult guppies because of this worm. I've treated with Nedol for a month, followed all instructions but now, after 50 days I got them back. I'll treat my tank one more time but if this fails again I'll have to restart the tank
Marko Marusic Good luck! This is definitely hard to eradicate!
This really helped me, thank you!
Sharae Tucker Of course! Good luck! 🤙🏼
Did your roundworms, nematodes turn from red to white/translucent?
I am dosing crazy every day as well as h2o! I did see some fall from fish I sucked those right up! I have noticed a white ball fall with a few worms with the white ball! Plenty of fish have passed without even knowing the reason!
How are we able to buy fish snails plants with this problem and not have medicine to cure these at any fish store
Can I use Levamisole as it paralyzes the fish and the fish poop it out and then use fenbendazole to kill the worms?
Thank you so much..I'm off to get some stuff will keep U updated
gavin clarke Please do! Good luck!
I tried going to the Amazon link but it's not available. Could you tell me the name of the medication?
I’m still so unclear as to how much of the medication to use. I currently have 3 bettas that have these worms and I’ve been treating them with this medication for two weeks! They have the ends eat out of them like your fish does but I still see some worms too! They still eat but they are loosing interest in life, I can tell. I’m going to lose them soon if I don’t get this done!
I also am using aquarium salt, I am getting epsom tomorrow.
Anyway, I have them in a 3 gal treating tank, heater and sponge filter. How much of this medicine do I use? I have been using 50 mg and really felt that was a lot! I’ve treated them by soaking the food and dosing the water and doing water changes every few days.
For treating the water too - how much you would put in a 55 gallon tank? One packet in the tank water? Also, would you add it to flake food, or frozen food like brine shrimp or blood worms?
1-2 packet directly in the aquarium with the correct food dose should be fine. Feeding is ok, but don’t overfeed. I would suggest flakes or pellets, not blood worms
Can you leave an updated link again please its not working.. thank you
How do you use it?
Omg!!! Georgie Boy and how much you love him is the best! Just came across your channel and sub’d. I haven’t come across camallanus worms yet but have with some other weird difficult s*&t... and it sucks. Thanks for sharing what works.
S Velekei Ayyyyyy Thank you! George is definitely a fan favorite! I’m glad you haven’t come across camallanus worms, they’re NASTY!
Thanks for the information please what is the name of the medication.
Levamisole
Huge question! Mystery snails do they eat the eggs ? I have a ton and when treating do I remove the snails.? I thought they were just undigested hornwort.... ugh thanks for the information
Snails would not eat camallanus eggs. You should also treat the entire tank and living things in the aquarium. The snails can still be a host for the camallanus.
Thank u so much for this vid, I've lost my favorite fish to these worms, what cure did u use?
Wild Boy The meds in this video, Fenbendazole
@@LongIslandFishGuy thx
OMG finally!!! I've been searching what this is I lost 4 Bolivian Rams and a Koi Angelfish and my big female literally has these red worms hanging out of her but and I've treated with prazipro API general cure with no luck. I will try this ASAP. Thank u!!
David Eppley Good luck!
I was told that fenbenzadole in dog worm medicine works well too. What is your take on it?
Cinny Lor I’ve heard the same thing! It’s used for various animals!
It works well on certain species of worms yes I'm sure it's an active ingredient in most worming tablets
Where’s that video u were putting out Saturday ? I can’t find it is it on Instagram ? I need UR HELP PLEASE
Can not find this product anywhere. I don’t believe they make it anymore. Was wondering if you knew the next best thing???
Hey great video. What’s the tank dosing? 1 gram per 20gallon once a day for 3 days?
Yes, and if you think the infection is very bad you can overdose slightly
@@LongIslandFishGuy awesome
Man thank you!
I have no idea what kind of worm is in my tank right now but they are so small you wouldn't even notice unless you were really looking. They look white in the water but they are red when you take them out and lay them on a paper towel. Do you have any ideas on what it might be? I think camallanus worms may be too big to be what these are but I have no idea.
Talia Hutton Send me a pic on Instagram, I’ll help you out!
This is really helpful. I’m new to the fish tank world. I think my fish are infected. Would you know if levamisole is safe for snails? I’m reading conflicting information about this on google.
Sanjana Chowdhury Welcome to the hobby! I do believe that levamisole will actually kill your snails (pretty quickly).
Long Island Fish Guy thanks! You’re right, it’s too risky. I threw out the contaminated food. I’ve been cleaning with a python more frequently than usual to clean out the worms. I don’t see them anymore. 🤞
OmG. I think my guppy might have this! Can these worms pass to humans and /or cats?
My cats love to drink out of our fish tanks. And I'm freaking out because I stick my arm in to clean our tanks weekly.
Thanks
I just dissected one of my dead fish after I saw a red thing in it and it has 5 worms in it each 1-2 inches long
Nasty! But sorry to hear that. Good luck!
I had someone e tell me use levamisole so the fish poop em out, after 3 days use the treatment you used so the fish intestines don't get blocked up. Hope it helps used it on my ram community
Jesus Sandoval Levamisole doesn’t kill the parasite, so you would either need to gravel vac extremely well or use another medication with the levamisole. The more medication you use, the more stress that will be added to the fish.
I’ve dosed twice so far has anyone ever seen a eel get these? Molly betta platy guppies all infected!
What is the rate for panacur ppm
Nasty worms! Yeah those suck. Great vid.
Matthew Moore Cichlids thanks! 🤙🏼
Levamisole or levamisole HCL can treat food or water (2 ppm), febendazole treats food only because it has low water solubility. Epson salt acts like a laxative, which can help pass dead or paralyzed worms - just make sure your fish are not epson salt sensative. Correct that levamisole is light sensative and fish must be retreated to target larvae that have hatched that missed the initial treatment.
Please can you type the name of this treatment you had success with? My livebearer setup has these worms and I don't want to lose any fish as only one fish is showing the grown worms exposed. Thanks
Mr Marais -Teacher I used fenbendazole but you could also use levamisole. Good luck! Typically when you see the worms, it’s already too late...
@@LongIslandFishGuy what dosage did you use? I have some on hand but I'm unsure of the amount to use in my 50g
THANK YOU SO MUCH I’ve been trying to get rid of them THX.
Yea it sux im dealing with it again and im 100% certain its from the snails I bought. Happened the first time I got the snails fish got em now this second time bought another batch fish got em again 😭 Did your fenbendazole kill/harm your Cories???
Tyler Johnson sorry to hear you’re going through this! I don’t believe the treatment itself had a negative impact on the Cories, but I have 1 of 9 left. I believe the Camallanus is what killed them, not the medication.
Okay so I did buy this stuff prior to seeing your in sight. My question of the day is, DO THEY REALLY WANT YOU TO FEED THAT MUCH FOOD IN 3 DAYS?!
You said to treat the food and water. How did you treat the water? I know the directions says to soak the food but curious on how you did the water. Thanks
web4392 I added it directly to the aquarium.
I have these worms in my aquarium and I am treating it but before I realized my fish had a problem I put a new fish in I took her out a couple days after I realized what it was does it spread that fast? I’ve used nets in my other account but they all look the same so I’m not sure should I treat all my tanks just in case? Or will it hurt the fish if they don’t have the worms? I have 13 aquariums and it would suck to lose all my fish 😭 also I have about 50 mystery snails in my aquarium do they affect snails?
Cancer butthole Walmart Tough to say - I ran into a similar issue with cross contamination with my equipment but luckily I was safe and the parasites didn’t spread. I would monitor the other tanks very closely for the next few days and treat it right away if you notice the red worms
Really hoping someone can help me! Found a dead fish yesterday with these nasty things and freaked out big time I feel heart broken, so I’ve ordered the stuff but it would arrive for two days just hope my blue rams can hold on...
I have 4 rabbit snails and I’ve read this treatment can kill them, so I’m moving them to another tank,
Will they be carrying the worms?
And if all goes well when can I re introduce them?
Also should I take out all the plants and sand from my infected tank? Please help!!:(
alex rose That was not a good move to move those snails. I would treat that tank as well. Snails are known to be parasite carries so you may have just infected another tank... No need to remove the plants
Where can you get hold of the treatment. I'm scouring the Internet now. Had to cull one of my fish to see if it was definitely these worms and it is. 😢

Hey mr well I am getting high ammonia after 36 hours what to do water change am guard prime but it’s not 3 days yet
Bit late but you can add a small amount of peroxide to lower your ph amongst other things
Is there a diference in dosage between Levamisole and Levamisole HCl? I have Levamisole HCl
Steven Larry I don’t believe so, but don’t quote me on that!
One is water soluble
hi i have a rear case of this particular worm infection in a human . what can be insisted by humans with the replicating ingredients found in the medication used to kill the worms in fish . also please note these worms also known as devil worms are found in south African mines and can be transported via borehole water and human infection can occur after ingesting borehole water .
I’m dealing with this right now, I’m in Australia finding it hard to find medication! I have bristlenoses and corydoras so I’m really worried what will be safe for them!
I’m sorry to hear that and I wish I had another solution for you... I would recommend heavily dosing the tank with salt. Chances are it won’t eradicate the parasites, but it might help!
Thank you, I'm going to try this on my 20 gal and post the results.
King Koopah Let us know how it goes!
question? 90% sure my boyfriends oscar has them i noticed last night, but i’m not 100% if the other oscar or 2 chilids have them. Should i put the oscar in a quarantine tank and do water changes for the other fish. or treat all of them to be safe with water changes ?
If 1 fish has it there’s a good chance all the fish have it. This parasite moves extremely fast. If you’d like me to take a look to confirm callamanus send me a photo on Instagram @longislandfishguy
@@LongIslandFishGuy just did !
i treated my tank with fenbendazole in the food and in the water but it haven't kill them. i pulled a few out of my betta and placed in a glass with water from the tank and they still alive and it have been 4 days now, since i started the treatment.
biojacel tavarez Definitely sounds like you’re on the right track. Just watch out for the death effect!
@@LongIslandFishGuy i hope so because i lost a few fish already.
Dose anyone know where I can get this treatment? If you do please send me the link I have the same problem it’s been months now I’ve tried blue planet for tape worms and fluke it didn’t work so I want to try this treatment
Stray Lollicon You can purchase this medication here: amzn.to/2LkQ8BX Treatment will ONLY work with these meds. Good luck!
@@LongIslandFishGuy fish meds are banned in my country. Anything else I can do.
I’m pretty sure my guppy has this... :(
She’s been stressed for days, she won’t eat and she won’t swim around the tank. I have two nerite snails in the tank with her. I don’t want any of them to be killed, but I know my guppy’s probably going to die from this parasite soon. I put some aquarium salt in the tank, but I guess that won’t help at all...
What's up boss, I have a 65g aquarium and I'm most certain this is exactly what one of my angelfish is suffering from. Should I quarantine him??? I'm not sure if any other fish have this but at first I thought it was dropsy, but shes active and eating so it cant be it, shes not pregnant, and I defently only feed once maybe twice a day so I have no idea how these worms got in her. The funny thing is that my smaller angel pooped and it looked like the film that gets stuck on the filter along with lil tiny tiny red strings like 3 separated from each other attached to the film. I dont want my fish to die. I have a 10g quarantine ready to put her in it
Michael Moreira I would NOT remove the fish. You would only contaminate another tank. I’d treat the tank with the angel fish right away and hope for the best. The angel fish is most likely going to pass, so the goal is to ensure that the parasite hasn’t taken up too much space in your other fish. Typically by the time you see the worms, it’s already too late.
@@LongIslandFishGuy my poor angelfish has been like this for a while now. I only saw 1 sign of worms coming out of my smaller angle which has only been with us for like 2 months it popped 2 red strong the length of half a fingernail. Please tell me what exactly I should do, I have tried everything, medicated deworming flakes, Epsom salt, i was about to quarantine one fish and give her general cure but now I know that's not the case. What should I do?
Yeah I have these now pulled a few out of fish than more dropped down gonna have to pull again. I also have a baby that came from s mother that had em!
So if mother has em and now babies have them! It is hard to find right meds. start over was recommended from a major company!
Thank you so much! Few weeks ago I got some new angels and Iv found out they have these worms 😢 few of my fish have died 😢 could you reply with the treatment you are talking about.. I can't spell it 😅 Iv used a simple wormer treatment and it hasn't seemed to help at all.. X
The name of the medication is Fenbendazole. Good luck!
@@LongIslandFishGuy will Flubendazole work too? That's what I got
@@LongIslandFishGuy but it says treat 1ml for every 400 litres of water a d repeat treated every 4 weeks to maintain a healthy environment...
Where can I get this in the UK? Or what brand would it be? My plecos have it! Lost about 20 fish too! Help
I've been treating my tank for five days. I soak for 30 minutes with there food. I still seeing the worm protruding through 2 of my fish's butt still? Do you think it's stuck?
Michelle Davey I doubt it’s “stuck”. The fish probably didn’t take all the meds or the worms are still alive. Once the camallanus die, the let go of the fish’s intestinal tract.
How did you dose the medication? Do you have to measure out the medication and mix it in water from the fishes tank? Please get back to me as soon as possible. I have a electric blue jack dempsy cichlid who has these worms.
Kathleen Monsegue I typically do a double dose. 1 full dose in the water and 1 full dose soaked in pellets.
I started treatment today with JBL Nedol, moved my shrimp and snails to another set up, stripped down the first tank I noticed that was infected and placed all of my fish into quarantine. Now the thing is, would I be able to treat my snails with something similar to the JBL Nedol as well because I read up in a forum that they can serve as hosts as well, apart from fish. I was only aware that fish served as hosts but by seperating the fish they'd die in plus minus 2 weeks.. or is it just fish that are the hosts? I have 4 tanks ranging from 40-380liters and I'm planning on treating and stripping all of them but I have assassin and trumpet snails which I'd really like to keep but now I've found very conflicting opinions on the internet. Would you be able to help me, please 😢 my animals are my life, without them I don't think I'd even be here today, euthanizing is not an option for me as the infected fish only came into my care about 3 weeks ago, I had to euthanize them sadly because more than one worm was already portruding from their anus, but the fish that's been with me since forever still has a massive fighting chance. Thank you!
Kayla Davids Hi Kayla, sorry to hear you’re going through this 😢 unfortunately the survival rate for this is very low. Moving fish, snails, or shrimp between infected and non infected tanks is a dangerous move. I would recommend treating any tanks that have come in contact with the infected fish. Use different siphons and buckets as well!
@@LongIslandFishGuy thank you so so SO much for responding! I've stripped down one already, I'll be dipping my plants in diluted bleach as well as the tank and I'm going to get new equipment to start the nitrogen cycle again, the other tanks I will be treating all of them. This morning I spotted some MTS in my medicated tank, alive and well - I transported some of my horwort to keep possible ammonia levels down and to provide my betta with a top resting place.. now I'm wondering if at very low dosages I might be able to treat my shrimp and snails as well, I will be watching the MTS for about a week to check if they're fine and then I'll consider taking a chance. Thank you for the info, very informative channel as well 👍
So how do fish actually get the parasites in the first place? My $40 Apisto that Ive had for a year with zero issues just died because of these and I have no clue how it caught them. Like how did the parasite get into my tank in the first place for the fish to get it?
Shaggy from Scooby Doo Do you add any new fish?
Long Island Fish Guy about 3 days ago but the Apisto died this morning which is why I looked this up. I saw the worms and was surprised. Would I not see the signs in the fish I bought before seeing signs in the Apisto?
Shaggy from Scooby Doo Not always. When was the last few times you’ve added fish? Did you add something and notice it die right away or in a few days?
Long Island Fish Guy Hm, I bought 7 neons and by the time I got home from the store (50 minute drive) one had died. I thought it was odd because I routinely drive this long with fish. Even did it with the Apisto.
Also, I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to reply.
Aside from treating the food with benzadole, does anyone know how to treat the water with it?
Stefany Larrea You can do the benzadole directly into the water too. You can also you aquarium salt.
Long Island Fish Guy thank you! Ordered mine last night I really hope my fish make it especially Turbo (my betta fish) lol
So if I do this method, I don’t have to empty out the water in my tank? I just got a 75 gallon fish tank about 2 weeks ago and don’t want to have to do that again if I don’t absolutely need too. Please help!
Definitely don’t have to empty the tank just because of this
@@LongIslandFishGuy So what I did was... I did a 75% water change. Took all the fish out. Cleaned the tank... vaccumed the gravel, took all my fish back (bc I just got them a week and a half ago) Then I let my tank run from Sunday to today’s with no fish. I just went and got NEW fish today... Do you think I should be good and then I got rid of the worms with the good cleaning and replacing the fish?
Probably not 😳 did you use medication? Do you or did you actually see the little red worms coming out of them??
@@LongIslandFishGuy Yes I did. Pretty sure that’s what they were. When I went to the pet store they said they weren’t sure that they were worms, but he said it was poop. Now with all the research I’ve done I don’t think it was because of how long they were. This medication you used in this video is sold literally nowhere... Should I get something else to put in my tank to be safe? I don’t know much about fish. I don’t want these ones that I just got to end up with them and die.. So whatever you recommend I appreciate!!!
@@LongIslandFishGuy well.... I think they’re back. Fish poop is not 3 inches long, right?
Pls help me my guppy has stuck in butt something round and that's why she's more likely fat and can't poop out bc she has stuck how do I get whatever that thing is out I'm not sure if it's this
It’s red?
@@LongIslandFishGuy it's like fish colour not red
@@Rebian Definitely not this specific parasite then. Could be numerous other things!
This is whats killing my guppies. My tank has shrimp fry and snails. Ive heard if i used the nets or moved plants i need to treat all tanks. Wth am i going to do. Is it safe medicone for my inverts. Im so discouraged. Help fish guy. Please
Brian Bulluss Be careful not to cross contaminate your tanks! Clean all of your equipment. Unfortunately, your invertebrates will die from the medication but your fish will 100% die if you don’t act quick with treatment.
Long Island Fish Guy can I break down the contaminated tank and move my shrimp and snails and just create a nano tank for just them. Or am I out everything.
Already contaminated all my tanks. Lost my sons beta and so many fish already. I cant stand the thought of loosing all my shrimps and snails too. The worms aren’t effecting them
Where to get it I need it bad
Lexie loves aquariums This is what I used: amzn.to/2LkQ8BX
Think I bought fish infected and or maybe a snail or black worms
I’m keeping fenbenzaole in tank and soaked food!
interesting, bro
Dude thank so much you may have saved my balloon belly molly
It’s what I’m here for!
Can the parasite go away on its own? I had Cammalanus worms and they just disappeared
Wild Boy 100% no lol
@@LongIslandFishGuy oh, lol
So we've been treating our tank with ektozon for over a week due to an unknown parasite that made our fish itchy and flashing in the sand. I haven't seen anything attatched to any fish but today I managed to see a teeny riny red worm and I removed it. It was swimming up against the glass of the floating breeder box. None in the gravel. I'm freaking out. The fish have also been pooping stringy white almost see-through poop sometimes but not constantly. I keep reading and reading about this worms but everywhere it says that it's very uncommon to see them swim around so I'm confused and I don't know what to do... The fish are eating and swimming around as normal apart from itching from time to time
If the worms are red and sticking out then it’s callamanus and you should start treatment right away too eradicate the problem
@@LongIslandFishGuy they aren't sticking out. I don't see any worms on any fish, I've only seen one swim and that the guppies are itchy. We've been treating the itch with anti-parasite salt Ektozon.
What if I still see worms after day 3 of treatment? Will it hurt my fish to go for a 4th day?
Continue the treatment. These worms are more harmful than the medication
@@LongIslandFishGuy so I'm about done with my third round of treatment and I still see a couple worms. Should I just continue with it or 8s there a different medication I can use
@@afoninja121 Use Levamisole. You can purchase it here: amzn.to/31BkFkj Unfortunately I actually got these worms again recently ruclips.net/video/GqZpwVsLVOI/видео.html
Api general cure mixed with crushed garlic mixed into the food or bread grum worked for me. General cure dose in tank for killing the rest.
General Cure (Metronidazole and Praziquantel) will not kill camallanus. Levamisole or fenbendazole are the only things you can really use to treat for it.
@@LongIslandFishGuy maybe it was the crushed garlic and Epsom salt duo that worked, but it worked had no issues after a few weeks of dosage of each one of those.

My fish disappeared 👀
You're hurting my heart. I just put hundreds of dollars into stock. Lost my first fish and had him necropsied. Haven't seen any red worms. But nooooo.
This is the first time me owning fish and I’m pretty sure they have them
I had quite a lot of problems with theses worms but I did just pull them out soooo ?
Erin MacDonald You physically pulled them out of the fish?
Yeah I did and actually believe it or not I had no problems what so ever afterwards , no fish died in the proses. Personally I think if you can catch the parasite fast enough it should be easy to get rid of them.
Erin MacDonald maybe it wasn’t camallanus? Typically after you see camallanus, it’s already pretty widespread.
Yah not quite sure what it was but it was one red worm in my guppy so I just took it out and it's been five day since and my fish is still alive and no signs of the worms
Erin MacDonald if it’s 5 days, you’re not in the clear.... It sometimes takes weeks to show 😳
Thank you so much all my locals had no clue what to do you saved some of my fish thank you so much
Gothic Doll Glad this video helped you!
i just saw this on my male molly so i looked it up
Actually the larvae need a first host which is Crustacea like daphnia or brine shrimp, and then the fish is getting it, so once the fish evacuate the parasites you just throw them away and you are all done
My isn't a worm it's like a bump I can't tell what it is
If you’d like, send me a photo on Instagram @longislandfishguy. I can check it out and let you know what I think.
Cheers to the Keyhole!
John Pehnke He’s a trooper! A God send!
Now I know y my fish r dying they get bloated and pine cone effect. Next one that dies I will open her up as all mine r females my husband has all males platys and mollies breed like crazy lol thing is I have loads of amano and cherry shrimp and shrimplets so getting treatment for the fish is gunna be hard as most treatments r harmful to shrimp
RavenReeBugg If the fish are getting a bloated and pineconed then it’s probably dropsy. See treatment for that here: ruclips.net/video/ej1laxvaR9U/видео.html
Thanks for the help! Just noticed it tonight in my female guppy. No sign of the worms in my other fish yet but hoping I’m not too late. Just ordered some of the medication you used. Thanks again!
Parker Schaar Good luck! Keep us updated!
Long Island Fish Guy I’ve done my first three days of Bendazole. Lost one female guppy but all the other fish in my tank are doing great and no signs of anymore Camallanus worms! Putting the next batch in this weekend and the weekend after that to kill any larvae left over
Dam my fish are probably all gonna die 😭😭😭bro these things have been in my fish for a while and it's a 55 gallon community tank plus a couple African cichlids who also got these things. Thank you for the information

Brad Leblanc I will be making a video either tonight or tomorrow with an update to this tank. Be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss it!
holyyy crap :( my fish have this worm ;( im gonna have to cure them like you showed me
jenny novoa Good luck! 👍🏼
Omg im screwed why i got fry in my new tank and the dad looks like he has this thought it was fungus’s
Ever heard of prazipro it only says treats tapeworms i cannt buy the other stuff
Kyle Botala What type of fish? PraziPro would not work against camallanus
Long Island Fish Guy i got a molly showing and alot of others in a 75 do any worm look like this or just cal if so best would be since i cannot get the med is let everything die out than let tank sit dry??
Kyle Botala “normal” worms aren’t red and coming out like this. If it looks like the photos in the video then it’s camallanus. Very difficult to get rid of and nearly impossible without the medication used in the video.
Is it possible to have these worms in a tank that has no fish? I was trimming a plant when I disturbed the substrate and found a red worm wriggling around in the water towards the surface. I only have a dwarf crayfish and some snails. It looked like the worm in this video:

Please help me identify it!
Where u get the benzodole
Amazon, but I would no longer suggest using Fenbendazole. Levamisole works better.
@@LongIslandFishGuy I’m going to co op now for some dog dewormer same thing right
@@LongIslandFishGuy I no that made me sound really dumb 😆 the levamisole is in that tho at 90% and another guy uploaded a video with a link to a chart on dosing ... I was gonna stop by my fish store and talk to my guy about exact dosing and see what did he know about this if anything .. and I planned on trying to keep talking to u about it as well if we could 😃
Message me on Instagram, I can help you out with everything. I’ll be making a video on an update with what’s going on, but I have a proven process now!
