Hi Chris! Glad to see that the fish are healthy and doing well which is more than I can say for some fancies I've bought here in the UK, I've had 3 deaths in the space of 5 weeks and they were from the same place. I'd be interested in a more detailed and close up video of ankle worms, unless you have one already?
I'm so sorry to hear that! Sometimes, problems with our fancies can take over quickly. I will try and post a picture of the anchor worm on my Facebook page or instragam. Thanks for watching 😃
The anchor worms definitly as they are visible to the naked eye. All other parasites are invisible to the naked eye apart from fish lice. I would always try treatments that aren't very harmful to the fish first, like salt or fluke treatments, before moving to the harsh chemicals like malachite and formalin, etc. Thanks
Man i hate to think what those bad boys cost you good work on spotting the anchor worms.
Beautiful mate.
That was a really interesting and super helpful video. I learned a lot 😊
Thank you

I would always worm imported fish mate internal worms are rife atm
Yes definitely! Decided to hit them with a de worming treatment and not seen any worms since
Can you treat for parasites and anchor worms as a precaution if you don't have a microscope in order to check.

How old are these orandas?
I'm not 100% sure, but I would assume around 1.5 years old
