Hey, I recently noticed that there are black thread like appendages attached to the underside of my Kulhi Loach. I had 5 and ive recently updated to around 10 about 2 days ago. Ive noticed that many have this attached to them and it obviously doesn't seem to shift. Ive read online that it might be Camallanus Worms but they are supposed to be red i thought. It could even be faeces. Anyway hope someone can help.

Thanks

Nick

It’s hard to tell with those pictures being so dark and that Kuhlii loaches rarely show their underside . If it goes away then it’s feces but beyond that I don’t know .
