So I have a few wild texas chiclids. one of the has a strange golden/white worm inside of the fluid of his eye. It appeared a week or 2 after being in the tank. He is the only one I have seen with this still to date. the worm is about 1/16 inches long and super skiny

It would be incredibly hard to get a picture of it but ill try if needed...


Does anyone know anything about this? I have never in my life seen a worm inside the fluid of the eye. It doesn't seem to bother him at all. wierd.

thanks in advance

The only thing of size I have read about that can get into the eye is in the tapeworm group. this thing sure is small to be a tape worm. plus i'm not sure that knowing if it was even helps me. what kind of medicine could get inside an eyeball...
