What parasite is this
Hi all, I have found a worm type thing under microscope with head that resembles a cat fish .
Any idea what this could be please? I will try post a picture. I have treated wounds on koi best I can but would like to know what to treat for.

To be honest it doesn’t look like any off them .It looks like a garden worm with barbel head on it. Possibly a anchor worm but not sure how to add picture on here.

You can see the worms with naked eye . I would say skin fluke but can't be sure

Be interested to know magnification, but to me looks like a larvae of some sort, a very young dragonfly or something? Not sure it’s a fish parasite though
