Hi - recently bought 3 young goldfish from a LFS, and one passed away a week after getting it, and did so suddenly. She had white stringy things coming out of her back - thought it may be white poop... One of my two remaining fish has a black thing coming out on bottom near rear fins. Is this anchor worm? LFS sold me prazipro to treat it...but PP isn't listed as treating anchorworm? Thoughts?
Thanks!

From the pics I can't see exactly what you mean in detail. But the Anchor worm are distinctively visible like ribbon short maybe 1-1.5 inches forked looking end. When you have worms coming out of the anus that is different more likely possibility Cammalanus worms.
