Hi,
Thank you to you both for your comments and advice. I think it will be a long day and night as from looking at the fish they both look as though they will be a lot of worms. The symptoms lists on the Internet didn’t contain two of the main symptoms in my fish which would have made a quicker diagnosis if I’d come across the symptoms.
It’s the reason why I suspected internal worms last instead of first and if it wasn’t until a few days ago when one fish expelled the long worm it confirmed I’d misdiagnosed.
The two symptoms they had mainly was the erratic swimming and darting about the tank. The other was the contracting of the stomach cavity particularly when the fish ate, and the bulge/ dark shadow Which can be seen on their tummy’s.

My friend who has two large fish in her garden pond told me to stop fussing about them and the erratic swimming and hitting themselves against the glass was just the fish exercising? I honestly don’t know how her fish are still alive as she does everything the opposite way to caring for them. She has had the fish 10 years and she still believes the old myths about fish growing to size of their tank and she said when she was a child her parents had several tropical fish tanks containing a variety of tropical fish. She said her parents didn’t use tap safe treatments, carbon filters or heaters and she said the fish lived for many happy years.
She puts the hose pipe in the pond and leaves it running, and over flowing with water all day while she’s out shopping. She washes her sponge filters in clean running tap water and never in pond water and refuses to accept any advice of what she should be doing.

The photo attached are of the fish the week I bought them and the swimming up and down the front of the glass was constant, which they did all day and night and would only stop to feed before resuming the “exercise” my friend says they are doing! 🙄😂
