My last add to this tank would have been 3 months ago, a baby crappie (possibly that kind of fish) then maybe 6 weeks ago I noticed it had a few small white wormish things hanging from its fins. Caught it, removed with tweezers and havent seen it until since. Well now I looked at the bluegill and I just pulled 3 off of his fins, not the body just the fins. These wormish things are in there pretty good as you have to pull with the tweezers to get them off. Iv googled it tons, they are 100% not anchor worms, I have even dosed the tank with paracid for 4 weeks and nada. I am thinking about atleast cleaning the canister filter really good just for good measure I guess.
Best shot I could get with them on the fish, its like a dog always trying to beg.

and the worms I took off, they wiggle like a leech would out of water these ones are about 1/4"

p.s dont mind the dirty glass and algae, tank sits near a sliding glass door hard to keep clean and with a 3yo constantly touching the glass.
