Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior): I have a guppy with a huge belly that is not pineconeing but its still really big. he swims somewhat fine as he wobbles alittle whenever he swims but not much if at all. his stomach has been like this for two days now and before this happend I had fed him and the other guppies in my tank their regular fish food along with a mashed pea and that was it. I thought at first his stomach was just big because it will get like that whenever he is full so i left him alone. A few hours later my brother noticed that his stomach had become even more distendend than usual so thats when i put in some medication. A few minunets later he spits out a long white worm looking thing but them swollowed it back befor i could get it.



Volume and Frequency of water changes: full water change twice a month since i dont have a siphon. I know I know i need to get one

Welcome to our forum Guppies101.
I suggest that you post a picture of your fish in the Tropical Emergencies section along with your description. You could also try a Google of camallanus and see if the resulting pictures resemble what you saw. If so, please include that information in your post in the emergencies section. Folks there average far better at disease diagnosis and cures that the average you will find here where we deal mostly with healthy fish.
