          Anchor Worms in Fish Print
Treatment
The anchor worm can be easily removed by carefully pulling it out from the fish's skin. The infected area is then treated with a topical antibiotic ointment. Afterwards, the pond or aquarium should be sanitized and disinfected, in an effort to remove any adult parasites, larvae or eggs. Share this page 0 COMMENTS
