Hello all, this little guy has quite a large disc-like grey parasite hanging on his head with a central striped worm looking part. Included below is a photo plus an unlabeled illustration of what looks to be the same thing. I can easily quarantine this fish but assuming if one has it, the whole pond is exposed? I don’t know the lifecycle, but the only play I bought from recently was Play It Koi , though a few weeks before that I received plants from multiple sources.
Update: removed the lice from this little guy and also one from my big shubunkin’s tail fin. Other fish seem okay for now. Happy to hear any recommendations for treatment in a 300 gallon plus two small bogs heavily planted pond.
