Flowerhorn Parasite?

[AngryCichlids]

I came back from a trip and im seeing tiny white and barely visible moving things. If i look close they look like a sperm cell not joking they have a round body and very long slender tails. I thnk they are coming from my flowerhorn but if not i still want them out.

PIcs?

Can't know unless you can get a pic. I'm thinking anchor worms but I can't say I'm sure unless I see a pic.

Most likely planaria - they feed on organic matter & excessive nutrients but overall are harmless.

Ui cant get pics they are much to small to even see like the size f a pinhead. I can barely see them but there is probably a couple hundred

Does sound like it, wasn't sure if they were in the gravel or on the body.

In the water swimming and on the walls. They are everywhere!

Planara is a result of excess food left in the substrate, are they the color of what u feed ur fish? Are they on ur fh?
