Can you actually see worms?

[sophie68]

Hello all,
I have been away from the forum for a long time! Very busy!!!!
I have been deworming my discus recently and I have been reading many posts where people state that they have ACTUALLY SEEN worms after treating their fish. My question is: Do you actually see them at the bottom of the tank or do you see the fish excreting them? Are you using a microscope? I have never seen any worms as far as I know....Yet I am sure my fish have had them! What do they look like?
Thanks for the info~~~~:)

After one dose of PraziPro, I saw tape worms coming out of my fish. They hung on for a few hours and were quite long...YUK!

I have a BB and really didn't see much once they fell off. Not sure if the filter sucked them up or whether they just broke up?

I saw tape worms after about 48hrs. My loaches ate them after they came out............it was gross.
