String Like Poo from Bristlenose. Have Micro Vids. Need Help

Post by Patr1ck »

Hello all. I have a problem with a Bristlenose and a Royal. They both have a 6" long string like poo trailing from them. Some of its length is clear and some of it is dark like normal poo. Here are some videos of what was seen with my microscope. Please help me identify what these critters are and how to rid them. BTW some of these vids are wicked to watch. Very interesting. Also, recently I used the microscope to discover Capillaria eggs that I have taken care of with 4 treatments of Levamisole. Once every 5-7 days.
