Joe Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Hi all, My friend's goldfish has something on it's dorsal fin, and I don't know what it is. What is it, and what medication/treatment does it require to cure it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariumbeginner32 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 I don't know much but could it be an anchor worm? :dunno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 I'm wondering if you are right there with it being an anchor worm. Google some images Joe (now you have broadband) and see if they match. They appear to to me but my eyesight isn't the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted September 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 I'm pretty sure it's an anchor worm after googling it. The treatment is 2mg of Potassium permanganate per liter of water, so I've notified my friend and he's going to go and get some :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
