I hate to cross post, but I'm pretty worried. I don't ever remember finding planaria on my fish before. They started as almost unnoticeable specs, but now are like super tiny hairs, randomly scattered about the fish - no concentration around eyes, gills, mouth etc. They seem to be a milimeter or less in size, more often less. I can't imagine it's a fungus since its not spreading from a central location.
I can't see them anywhere else, just on the 3 catfish.
I noticed them (specks) about 3 days ago, and until this morning hadn't seen any of the fish flash. They're still active, hungry and playful so at least if its something harmful it doesn't appear to have gotten too bad yet. I guess this is why we quarantine, but I'm not even sure what's up. I've dealt with the usual spread of fish disease/illnesses before but don't remember seeing this.
Ammonia is 0-.25ppm
Nitrites 0
Nitrates <5ppm
PH 7.6
Temp 78-80
Daily 50% water changes as long as there's residents in the QT
Feed once per day sparingly, 1-2 pellets per fish and immediately remove uneaten food.
2x HOB filters with sponge and bio-max type media + airstone
Any help is greatly appreciated.
