I only have danios and plecos in the tank atm... here is a pic of the one pleco. it has like red feelers coming out of its pooper. is this normal? the other albino doesnt appear to have these red things.
That is absolutely 100% a internal parasite. Those worms coming out are key symptoms good catch! I read that this will help with the worms levimisole I have heard mixed reviews about the severity of the disease and probably due to different treatments... one person said it wiped out their entire tank of 100 fish despite treatment and the other said their angels had it and treated it with levimisole. I would do your research but you need to start medicating ASAP or the fish will die. As parasites go they all steal nutrients so the fish will starve, that big belly isnt from food but from parasites growing in there
Camallanus worms, which have to be treated with Fenbendazole or Levamisole. Unfortunately you probably have a very advanced case given the symptoms you are describing:

There is a lot written on how to treat online, fortunately.

Ok picking Pancur up at my vet getting a good price. it comes in 1g packets. anyone know the appropriate doses?
2 grams per 10gal is usually plenty. It will kill snails and may kill shrimp.
Panacur (brand name), Fendendazole (generic anme) is also used as a dog dewormer and easy to get at most pet stores.
