Hello everyone. I a, bummed to be posting in the ill fish section again :( But, yesterday I notice a hair on a glass catfish's attenta. It's been 24 hours now and it's still there, so I'm thinking I was wrong and it is a parasite. I did close examination of all the fish and no one else has anything haging from them. I did a lot of online searches about dieseases and parasites for months now just learning as a precaution...never have I read a parasite this size could suddenly pop up overnight and why would it be attached to the attena? There is no nutrition there...I would think a parasite would attach itself to the body. Weird...
Anyway, please go to my youtube video and tell me what you think of it. Hair or not. I sure hope it's nothing!!
If you pause the video at 37 seconds you will see a dark spot at the connection point.

Thank you in advance!
