About a week and a half ago I introduced two apparently healthy blue rams to my community tank only for them to break out with ich very quickly, and now my other fish are affected too.
No doubt whatsoever about what it is.
I've never had a disease in the tank before
Anyway...I'm 2 days into a treatment with "Aquaruim treament 6 anti whitespot plus", and was staring at my fish feeling worried when I noticed a tiny worm on the glass.
It's translucent/white and the diameter of a fine hair and I think slightly segmented. It's about 5 mm long at full stretch.
It's very active. It charged across the glass stopping every so often to wave one end around.
Does that sound like the free swimming stage of ich, or is it something else? I've heard of thinbgs like anchor worm but I can't see any worms on any fish. Just this one worm on the glass.
I'm really worried.
All advice gratefully recieved.
