For smaller fish, just scrape and pick it off. But big fish maybe medication.
Get Vetduck, or if willing. Transmore and take it out. Can't see clearly. Is is a lice? |

fish lice,
prob come from the feeder goldfish(most probably) you can use any of the anti-external parasite medication, but need to treat for a few sessions to break the breeding cycle..... hope it helps..... Quote:

It's just an eye sore lo. The fast wat to get rid of it is to bag the fisha dn transmore it. Then use finger to pick that lice away.
