I took it to a fish store and they said it was a flatworm IDK I bought some red stuff I’m not home at the min
Flatworm? That would be a monogenean. These are common fish parasites, but I’ve not seen one that large or move around like that. Praziquantel will control those, not sure what the red stuff you mentioned is…
