worms wild tetras

[cheryl]

I have some green neons that were wild caught. 2 Have worms . One has 2 curled up white worms on the side of its head and the other a hair like shaped worm on its bodyunder the skin. They appeared very quickly. I have seen rummy nose tetras with the hair shaped ones embedded in their tails. They are not anchor worms or bacterial or fungus growths. I would appreciate any info on these as I am now told that this is to be expected months after purchase on all wild teras. I also have 40 cardinals. I have also been told Ivomec cures it but I don't understand the cycle or the contagiusness of these worms.

Could be flukes.

My wild caught tetras also had them.
