Hi. I'm new on here (live in the South Bay area of California). Several days ago while I was feeding my new Puget Sound babies I noticed a feeder guppy with numerous, scary looking growths all over its body (similar to what Dr.Kate had described). I immediately pulled the infected guppy out of the feeder batch and truly hope my garters will not get sick as they did chow down on the remaining fish that did not show any visible signs of growths, etc... I am planning on finding other food for my tiny pugets even if this means pulling guppies from my own personal tank.
Yes, this "feeder guppy worm epidemic" is most likely true! Everyone, please be careful.
