Hi
Looking for answers here. I bought a moorish idol a couple weeks ago from a local hobbyist. He said he has had the fish for a year and eats well. The idol does eat remarkably well. I placed him in QT. I noticed a couple black dots on its sides and given concern for black ich I did a course of Gen Cure for a week followed by Prazipro for another week. The black dots have not gone away. There are 2 on one side and another on the other. They do not move. They don't cause any problems from what I can tell. The idol eats everything I throw at it very well. Earlier today I noticed a small (~3/4") dark red colored string on the bottom of the QT tank. I put it under the microscope and this is what I see. Is this some kind of nematode? Should I be worried? What should I do? Where did it come from? Looking for @Jay Hemdal and @vetteguy53081 and any one else for input.
Thanks
