CJs Aquatics Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Rough week in the fish room, seeking yet another identification and treatment, my speculation is anchor worms. Small white wormlike what I would assume to be parasites are wriggling around underneath this puffer fishes right fin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) It's difficult to tell off your picture if these are anchor worms they typically borrow into the skin of your fish he's some pictures of anchor worms for comparison @CJs Aquatics Edited March 1, 2023 by Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJs Aquatics Posted March 1, 2023 Author Share Posted March 1, 2023 They look similar, are effecting the “armpit” area of the fish on both sides not just 1, will try to get a better picture when he comes out, what’s the treatment for that a parasite med like paracleanse?

Colu Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 If it's anchor worms remove the fish straight to away to a quarantine tank to provent the female anchor worms from releasing it's eggs then i would treat with hikari cyropro paracleanse won't have any effect on anchor worms @CJs Aquatics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
