Now one of my oscars is showing signs of swim bladder disorder but with a white thing sticking out of it's body from the inside

it is sticking out at the base of it's top fin

please help!

It may be an anchor worm. Google that and compare what's on your finned friend

 

[Baseballguy5]

Thanks but he just died


There was definetley a worm though

(the worm) it was reddish

is it contagious that you know of?

 

[FishFarmer]

Yes the anchor worms are... Look it up and see if it's the same one.. U will have to treat the tank

 

[FishFarmer]

Sorry to hear about your fish.. I know it can be a lil hard .

 

[Baseballguy5]

Will the worms stay in my tank untill I treat them or will they die out?

Thanks for your sympathy

 

[FishFarmer]

They will stay in the tank the majority if the time.. Needs to be treated
