thanks!Parasitic worm that got lost in the fish. It happens sometimes when it rains. The rain washes animal poop into water ways and intestinal worms end up in the river. The fish pick up the worm eggs and the worm larvae appear in the fish. But because the fish is not the correct host for the worm, the worm gets lost in the body and can appear anywhere in the fish.
You can try deworming the fish. Flubendazole treats flat and round worms. Levamisole treats round worms. Praziquantel treats flat worms.
See section 3 of the following link for more info about deworming fish.

thanks!Looks like an internal parasite to me. If it moves from that spot it's likely the same as what I see in the kissing gourami we get from Indonesia. There's no real treatment aside from manually removing them.
will it kill the fish? is it necessary to deworm it?Parasitic worm that got lost in the fish. It happens sometimes when it rains.
