Please let me know if you have seen this. Removing the fish, big job. Thanks.
I have never seen this before. Do they look like it could be tiny leech type thingies?
There is also a possibility that it could be a bacteria infection called a 'true fungus'.
If you see any evidence that the slivers are multiplying you will have to treat the fish so get a QT up and running in case.
I think they are probably bristles though.
