Worms come out of the chin like that too? EwwwKeep feeding, it appears to be moving the worms out.

These don’t really match what i see. The white strands were LONGGG. Like 5-6mm long. I fed them and they broke in half from the aggressive eating movement. It looks like white long stringy poop but this time coming from the chinMore likely this:
Bacterial Tufts & Viral Nodules
(Updated 3-2-2023) Bacterial Tufts Note: Credit for "bacterial tufts" terminology goes to Dr. Charlie Gregory (https://www.aquaveterinarian.com). It basically refers to white growths on a fish that are bacterial in nature. They oftentimes start out looking similar to Marine Ich trophonts (or...humble.fish

NLS pellets soaked in general cure. I do this for all my “new” fish for a week.What medicated food did you use?
What symptoms does she have that prompted the treatment?
How long have you had her?
Worms don't come out of the skin of a fish like that, those are either bacteria or mucus.

Just remember that soaking food in medication gives you an unknown dose. You don’t know how much medication soaked into the food as well as how much rinsed off into the tank before the fish ate it.NLS pellets soaked in general cure. I do this for all my “new” fish for a week.
No symptoms. Only had her for 3 weeks and decided to deworm now just as precautionary measure. At the same time feeding all my other fish the same medicated food too. Yesterday i started feeding the soaked food and this morning i noticed these strings coming out. I checked an hour ago and they seem to have broke fallen off.
My fishes come from a lfs that runs copper in their fish system.
Might be scrapes from attacking the tank divider now that you mentionAgree on mucus but can be from fighting mouth to mouth with another clown or scraping while cleaning off a rock which they at times do
Ohh didn’t know that. I do the food soaking way cause im not in the US and these medications cost 60-90 bucks a pack. So i took the most cost effective way by adding it to the food. Im taking a big pinch of GC, diluting in 0.5ml water and adding 3 pinches of of pellets and soaking then stirring every few mins while it dries. Then i drop 2-3 in at a time and they are eaten immediately as the fish come up to my fingers and wait for the pellets to drop it. I would add seachem focus but its another 70 bucks i have to spend and 70 is alot over here.Just remember that soaking food in medication gives you an unknown dose.

Metronidazole should be dosed at 5000 ppm in food. Prazi is dosed at 75mg/kg of fish weight. Both are very bitter and fish avoid eating food with a proper dose.
Treating the water is more effective than soaking the food for marine fish (but doesn’t work for FW fish).
