Have you tested your water?

Yes

If I did not test my water...

1. ...I recognize that I will likely be asked to do a test, and that water tests are critical for solving freshwater health problems.

Do you do water changes?

Yes

If I do not change my water...

1. ...I recognize that I will likely be recommended to do a water change, and water changes are critical for preventing future freshwater health problems.

This is not good. Noticed the same thing on my big male. Looks like what the one O. eigenmanni had. There's no treatment and I'm not sure about surgery on these guys.

Looks like anchor worm… battled this for yrs with a cple tinfoils and other fish. Whatever it is it seems to get worse/come back in higher water temps i.e. summer. I treat with dimilin. I get it off ebay. Ive had it “curbed” for yrs at a time and then have it come back ?‍. Never lost a fish from it but it is unsightly and annoying to deal with. Ive pulled fish out and tried to tweezer it out then use betadine solution. No luck there. Only thing ive found to make it go away for up to a year is the dimilin. Odd tho i run autodrip aswell. About the only “health issue” ive had in 10+ yrs… most always in summer as well. Lmk if u find anything to rid it more permanently lol

Here is Lerneae as seen normally.
The fish out of water pics make it more difficult for me to distinguish what is going on.
