It's also unlikely i will get one for ornamental fish - legally I ca...

Re: Skinny disease?

ok, so it probably is capillaria then. It was definitely a nematode (nematoid movement, no segmentation or chaetae) It had something that looked like stichosome at the front, similar to the pictures of capillaria on the internet, so its most probably Capillaria.
