Just an update.
Some thought they are anchor worms.
I've added CopperSafe today.
Hi
Does anyone know what are these little worm-like attachments on the caudal fin (see picture)?
I found similar ones on my juvenile C. Concolors bought a week ago. They are now in my 2ft quarantime tank, still feeding well but some of the fins are clamped.
I'm starting on a diluted salt treatment (1 ppt), being the safest route (not knowing what the worm is).
Thanks.

if it is anchor worm, i suggest you use your bare hand and plug them out carefully, apply the wound with PP. The faster way of curring. less then 2 days, everything gonna be fine.

Updated the picture link again (hope it can be seen this time).
The worms are so small (~1mm) , it is not possible to plug them out.
HI atlantis,
sounds n looks like the problem I mentioned in Petfred - 'Barbels problem' zac08 thinks it is a higher form of parasite. looks quite like urs except mine r on the barbels. treated the fish with an anti-bacterial/parasite medication n it has since recovered. I did isolated treatment for about 5 days.
