HELP : fishes spotted with fine white worm stick on the skin

[neon]

Hi all,

Anyone know what kind parasites are these ? Few of cardinals had died because of this and few more still having it. It is spreading slowly. Tried using the medication for ich but not effective. The parasite is definitely fine worm in while color which stick on multiple part of the fish body. On the dead fish, if I scratch the white fine worm which still stick but motionless.

Any medication can treat this ? Please help. It is not possible to catch those infected in my planted tank.

Cheers

Anchor worms....Contageious

I use to use a pincer to pull the worm out....but it has to be on the fins only...(not on the body or eye area), but think its not the correct way. - Medication
Get medication quickly.... else yr fishes may be "too injured" to recover. There are medication specific for anchor worms...
