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.....

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.

Medicating the whole tank just for one tiny bug not a good option la bro. Just lower water and then bag it, drip in transmore, knock out the fish and take the bug out. Put back the fish is faster and better than medicating the whole tank lo.
