Guppy has strange white thing that stick out of the head

[eduardcafas]

Hei there! Newbie aquarium owner here. Today i was looking at my aquarium and i spot a strange white thing at my guppys head, i also remarked that my other 2 corydoras are very inactive and they don’t move so much. Can it be that my tank has the ICH disease.

Thanks for helping!
Eduard

cant really tell from picture, but looks like there is a "stick" which would indicate an anchor worm. This is not uncommon in feeder fish, fish kept outdoors or game fish. Do some research for treatment.
