Great call O i never would have thought of it myself
No problem. I really enjoy how willing everyone here is to pitch in and offer help, share experience, and provide encouragement .
It's like belonging to an awesome aquarium society, where everyone is interested in the fish you like, and meets all day, everyday.
So awesome.

is this a gooey duck? This is terrifying!
It's an amphibian from Brazil. Looks like a dik and figured it would cheer jaws up with a chuckle. Cuz it was sinew in the mouth and not this, lol

Great read. Happy to see he/she only needed a toothpick!
So today I noticed an imperfected scale on my ft. I took a closer look and there was what looked to be an anchor worm in there. After reading this thread I realized I needed to pull it off fast before it has a chance to spread.
Unlike Franks wife mine ran and grabbed the tweezers. I think because she didn’t want me to spend money on a new pair. Lol.
I caught the flagtail and tried to keep it in the water as best as possible because he’s so big I didn’t want it to pull it out and risk hurting it any more. But every time I would try to grab the worm, he would turn around on me. He did this about 6-7 times before I was able to wrangle it around well enough.
By the time I went to pull it out, it was already gone. Now I am concerned it is either somewhere in my tank or else in the net. Shoot. I should have just pulled the fish out onto a towel like Frank.
