Hi,

Mticed a few days ago that something seems to be growing from my banjars tail.

is this anchor worm? the aro is in a 3 aro comm tank. what should i do? do i try to catch the aro and manually pull the white stuff off?

its in a comm tank , and i'm leaving on saturday to go to hk, so nobody will be around to take care of my fish.

any advide regarding the white stuff?

my aro kanna before. also dont know what that is. but keep the water clean. add more salt then usual, after awhile it went away. PLS PLS PLS, dont try to catch it to peel it away. will probably cause more damage than good.

Think probably an abrasion infection. Let hope it recover nicely. Up salt to 0.3% may help to speed recovery. I won't go straight to medication/treatment unless it get worser. Let move this to Aquamedic for further comment.

Looks like bitten during flaring of aros. Just keep a look out else extra dosage like salt and stress coat will be good. Cheers.
