2 catfish covered in fuzz

2 catfish are covered in fuzz, they are on the left in this video. Do you think I need to treat at this point? Parameters are normal.

Take a closer look at the video @TheSwissAquarist. This issue seems more rare, the fuzz covers the whole body, even the tail. I’m not sure any of the common treatments would work.

@Chick-In-Of-TheSea this looks severe. I would immediately use a 🧶 a ball of yarn, stuffed 🐭 mouse and provide adequate yummy treats 🤗

I offered that green flake food, I heard that works well. They seem to be more comfortable now.

Yes, yes that has intense medicinal properties.
