If there was any tissue damage by this "worm" it may take a few for it to
regenerate.

>Anyway, I treated the tank with formalin yesterday. Today the stringy

>is still breathing rather heavy, but not as bad as before. I hit the

>I wonder what that is/was. Anybody have an idea? No other fish in the
