I am currently treating my 75G for parasite in my Gouramis. I noticed the pleco had something hanging out of his rear the other day and have kept watch to see if it changed/went away, etc. I haven't gotten a good look at the underside of my pleco until just recently as the old tank he wouldn't hang out on the front glass much. He has been there a lot in the new tank, so I am not sure if this is a part of the anatomy I never saw previously or something else. There is a white 1/8-1/4" long wormlike object hanging off of him. It has showed no change in 4 days. See pic below. I am treating the tank currently with Jungle anti-parasite medicated food, but I am not sure how you get a pleco to eat the stuff. Please help identify what this is and if it is a parasite, how do I treat it?
