A month ago my perch got some strange kind of white cylinder shaped, kind of things (look at the pics) on their fins and also a bit on their bodies.
I just threw in a all-round medicine and all the perches got rid of it, expect for one. I used the medicine again, and later on (after refreshing water) I used another all-round medicine (I would have to look it up) but he still got the things.

Now I caught him and he;s in a bucket. I had him in a bucket with salt water for a few minutes but that didn't help either.

The other fish in the fish tank (a couple of beams etc.) never had it, only the perches.

I feel sorry for the little fellow, I think this whole thing is causing him a lot of stress. Hope he\ll survive.

Do you guys recognize the white stripes?

Anchor worm maybe? Not really sure, usually those attach to the fish body, not on the fins as much from what I understand.

Bumping to see if someone else knows. :)
