What is wrong with my black moor?

Question

there is what looks like a little string hanging out of a red spot on my black moors chin

Answer 1

I have had this type of fish before, and I went through 3 of them in a one month span. They do not live for vary long at all and so I just gave up on them, and went to a diff. type of fish. If it is a fungus there is nothing you can do about it except put it in a different bowl. Separated from your healthy fish.

Answer 2

Your black moor goldfish has an anchor worm.  When anchor worms are large enough to be seen, they can easily be removed by netting the goldfish and then using tweezers or your fingers to pull the anchor worm off the fish.  Half a minute out of water will not hurt your goldfish.  Leaving the anchor worm on the fish may result in more anchor worm larvae being released into the water where they will infect other fish or anchor themselves in the gills where they will do serious damage.  Adding aquarium salt to the water will kill free swimming anchor worm larvae or you can use a medication made for killing parasites in fish.

Answer 3

Parasites! Ewwww. Haha, no. I kid. It's no big deal. It's probably an anchor worm or something similar. I would recommend Jungle Parasite Clear tabs, it has prazi which is really gentle. If it doesn't clear up you'll have to use something harder like Dimlin or Cyropro.
