White head flukes..

About 2-3 months ago, I noticed a white looking fluke thing on the side of my Chocolate cichlid. I treated with the jungle internal parasite tablets, and a bunch of them started coming out of his head, and went away after a few treatments/waterchanges. Well yesterday I noticed one pop up on his side again, and I treated (tablets, temp up a bit, and salt). Today, the things are coming out of his head like crazy, again.. They only came out right after I started treating, I imagine froim being dealt with.. He doesn't seem affected at all, eats like a pig, and is his normal self.. Nothing else is affected in the least bit either, just him. I keep my water around 80, params are great. This started happening when I got another fish, but was removed for a while before the first time this popped up. Anything?

You can kinda see the original one right behind his fin..

That's odd. Try touching it gently. Does it get peeled off easily? What are the ingredients of Jungle Internal Parasite tabs?

Active ingredients are praziquantel, diflubenzuron, metronidazole, and acriflavine.

Ever since I treated, they seem to be going away more and more every day. I was just wondering if these were the parasites coming out of him, and why it's mainly in just his head area (there were a few on the lower fins), and what they are. As far as touching them, it's not a growth, they are actually strands coming out of him, I'm pretty sure..

Thanks Lupin. During the week they pretty much went away, I'm going to clean tank/re-treat in a bit and will let you know how it goes. If they come back, I'll get the tweezers for Alyssa's satisfaction.
