Goes off within 3 weeks or so

Now become more seem at the end of tail, and have try parazin p, Ocean free, and all the result is the same it since not effect, during the medication the worm start go inside the body, then after do water it come out again,

Maybe is not the achor worms because achor worms should have achor, that why maybe the medication not effect to it, and this already almost a year already I try above medication. Now try Tera brand ..haiz

I wont do any water changes if the aro is behaving and breathing normal.
Pls follow the dosage as stated and monitor your fish. Unless hard breathing or swimming not normal. No water changes needed for the 1st week of treatment for me.

Btw I am using the Ocean free with the box outside showing it is safe for aro and stingray.

This is not anchor worm.
Your tank walls are dirty, any part of the fishes body (barbel, tails etc) that rub against the tank wall when swimming will have this anchor worm lookalike thing growing there.
scrub your tank very regularly...

All is around the tail, but the fish still eat well and active. So far not see him rub around the tank..and also try before full clean up of the but since result still the same. Haiz...
