well it isnt flukes, and he's in 10 gal quantined by himself. i noticed it after a water change i figured he just cut himself on the bottom of the hob filter lip or something, he gets quite upset when i change his water for some reason. I will attempt to removed it today, i really hope i dont hurt him. its right under his face too, poor little guy, only 5 inches.

I called in a cpl people for consult from the blurry pic it looks like it could be an anchor worm.If you remove it keep the water as clean as possible and watch for signs of infection
keep us informed as to the results-Anne

I did my best to remove it last night after i got home from work but i dont think i got it all, which makes me sad, he hates me know everytime i go near the tank he doesnt come over anymore
