Ransomdnfull Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Goldfish has white fat string hanging from gill. Is this an anchor worm? No other fish show signs and this is the only one I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Dyer Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Sounds like that or a gill fluke from the description, have a picture? (Goldfish are famous for cleaning up anything they can so could be as simple as a plant root or piece of string that didn't go down right) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ransomdnfull Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 Great news Ken. I snuck up on her with a long tweezer and grabbed the suspected parasite. She swam off dislodging plant stem material. You were totally correct and...a Godsend. Much appreciation for your speedy reply which freed my little one. You're the Best !! ♥️♥️♥️ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
