they are getting longer, about the size of an eyelash and they appeared/grew, shortly after i got it.(3 months)

Ps when do angels mature, size or age befoer they are able to breed?
 
Sounds like they have callamanus worms - they look like little red paintbrushes with bristles on them - they may also disappear back into the fishes bottom. They hang out of the anus when in advanced reproductive stages to lay their eggs. If you are in the Uk you can buy this medicine online to get rid of them:-

Callamanus worm treatment

Good luck!
 
I agree with Gilli. Sounds like Camallanus. Get it treated asap if the fish is small it can kill it fairly quickly. You will need to treat the whole tank. If you live in the US you can get Lavimisole which is a sheep wormer, that will treat the problem.
 
ive only just looked at my past threads and noticed this (ops)
yes it looks like red paint brush hairs and
yes they have dissappeared, ive 4 angels now.
ordering treatment asap..
thank you so so so oooo much
