hello one and all,
my conraua alleni female, has a heavy load of something parasitic, it has large tumor like cysts under its skin mainly onthe left hand side of its belly,today one was raw and a small hole had opened just next to it, i treated the whole with tamidine and about half an hour later noticed what looked like small , dead , worms falling out of the hole, around 2mm long , unsegmented and apparently headless(guessing these could be egg sacks from a larger adult)also both my female and male (always in seperate tanks)have developed one tiny hole in the skin dierectly between the eyes,
ive had the male nearly two years and the female a year and have had no problems, not seen any parasites in the tanks,
does any body have any idea or experience with what this is ?
