After a prophylactic treatment of Prazi(5 days) and Metro 400mg(5 Days 5 Doses) and Metro Food (5 Days), go figure my microscope finally came in the mail!!
The discus I treated has been thinning the past year, I have previously posted in this section with no luck figuring out what this fish could have. The fish eats very very well keep in mind. After examining the feces these are photos from what appears to be some kind of worm and also potential eggs? I could be totally wrong but figured I'd post photos since my scope has a built in camera.
I also examined the foods I have been feeding this fish to make sure this thing is not just some type of plant etc that is in the food and not being digested fully. I cannot find this in anything but the feces. They are in all different sizes, some much larger than others. Not moving at all.
I figured if it was a worm I would see organs, intestines etc but everyone I find is clear. The photos are at 800x magnification.
