I know this is not a Catfish but you guys have been brilliant in the past when I have had problems with Pl*cos.

I have recently bought a Green Terror (2.5").

Yesterday I noticed it had a clear string/worm like 'thing' hanging from its anus. This 'thing' is approximately 2" long.

It did eventually drop off and I collected in a net and examined it. It was actually white, clear and slimy.

Any ideas what this could be?
Does it need treating?
Could it affect the other fish?

Intestinal worms.
Treat with Levisole or similar parasite medication.
Search the forums and you should find plenty of info on treating for worms.

uk equivilant is strazin, by waterlife.

The waterlife treatment is sterazin. This treatment is dosed for 10 days so it may not be suitable. Try something stronger from the vets, Levanisol works well.
