Shoelevy,

Yes, most fish do have internal worms, but they don't cause a problem unless someting else weakens the fish. In this case, the fish may need to eat more frequently. Plankton feeders should be fed several times a day in small amounts.

It is also possible for fish to comsume a high calorie count and still be starving to death. If the fish is not getting the right kinds of foods and fed often enough then it is not getting proper nutrition. This problem may not show up until you have had a particular specimen for some time.

Follow this link to the library on my Website for an article that may help you and your fish:

Thats a sign of cyanide poisoning.

The poison has destroy the digestive system of the fish, and no matter how well the fishes feed, it can't retrive the nutrients... and slowly wither away....sad, but nothing we can do....6 months of life span is my experience with such fishes....

Well, cross your fingers and hope thats not whats happening to your fish...
