Hey all, just noticed that my Golaith african tiger fish’s dorsal fin had these strands either hanging or attached to them. They were not there the night before. Wondering if anyone knows what they are/how to treat this. No other fish in the tank has this issue.

Look like anchor worms. Get some Dimlin, microbe-lift lice and anchor worm or Hikari cyropro.

Woke up this morning and they were not there anymore.. thats odd. Should I still treat for worms as a precaution?
