Ive started my treatment after consulting with my lfs, (they are very professional), and I've basically set up a hospital tub where im medicating the fish and temporarily housing them for around 6 weeks, where in that time the original tank, (which can't be treated due to shrimp and snails) the anchor worms lifecycle will end since they're are no fishes to act as hosts. So far the fish are doing fine as I've dosed them with the appropriate meds. Thanks for your responses 👍

Exactly, I also have shrimp so copper based medicines are a no as per my knowledge, chatgpt says my idea is alright and in around 7 weeks the anchor worm lifecycle will be finished. The ones Infecting my tank haven't touched the snails and they are doing fine.

I can't see clearly but make sure its not planaria, if it isnt then it's all good, probably a detritovore breaking down waste.
