ive been having this problem with anchor worms for the past 2 months and ive tried everything to get rid of them. they were introduced into my axol tank by some live plants i bought from a pet store, atleast thats what i think. so anyway i first noticed them on some of the feeder guppies i keep for my axols to munch on, but i didnt think too much of it. then i noticed that more and more of the guppies were developing them. so i cleaned out the whole tank and got rid of the gravel and all the fish and plants. i salt bathed my axols and put them back in with new gravel.
a few weeks later i noticed anchor worms on my axols and freaked. i read that the only way to get rid of them is to pull them off, so i did as carefully as i could. then i pulled everything out of the tank again, threw it all away and put the axols back in with nothing at all. i also changed the filter.
this did not get rid of the worms either, so ive just continued to pull any visable worms off the axols whenever they appear. not only this but both axols have lost their gill feathers and im not sure why. they dont seem to be fighting or have a visable fungus. the loss of feathers doesnt seem to slow them down because they are more active than ever.
just wondering if there is something i can add to the tank or something i can dip my axols in that will get rid of those damn worms forever.
