I think one of my molly's might have camallanus worms, but I am not positive. If so, it may explain why my other molly passed away unexpectedly a few days ago.

Should I quarantine the one fish that may have it, or try and medicate the entire tank?

And yes, I will be reading the long thread on camallanus worms that was posted by Allie.

Edit: Actually, now that I looked even closer when getting ready to remove the mollys, I noticed the rasboras are looking very fat. Nothing is sticking out of them, but they used to be slender and streamlined and now they are just huge!

All the pet stores are closed so I can't go on a hunt for the Jungle Labs medicine yet. Should I even bother throwing the parasite clear into the tank? Or wait until I find the other medicine?

I'm not sure what your symptoms are. Make sure it is camallanus worms but i fould fenbendazole flakes on aquabid sold by a guppy breeder in Florida. I will be calling them today so I have some on hand incase of another outbreak. www.flguppiesplus.com

Hi Ken, Dr Foster carries Fenbendazole in dog and horse dewormer medication which must then be measured out by mm and mixed with Blood worms and then fed to your fish. Possible but I found it very daunting. I was relieved to find commercially prepared flake fenbendazole. Much easier. Kacie
