No, they don't look like anchorworms to me. For reference, anchorworms are crustaceans, not worms. Where did you get that fish? Try removing it with forceps or tweezers. If it squirms, it is not anchorworm. Stick to praziquantel for now as it works well for most nematodes and other parasites (except for external parasites such as anchorworms that need trichlorfon or dimilin).
ok thanks but it seems that when i woke up today they were gone? im not sure what caused it or where they went? Ive had this fish for over a year. Could it have come from a feeder fish? I usually feed it pellets but sometimes feed it live fish but maybe once a month.
These are definitely not anchorworms as anchorworms don't disappear overnight in those areas. Do you have praziquantel to try on that? As it is a mild treatment for the fish and will not harm the beneficial bacteria, it is worth a try.
