    I have had a firefish in my tank for a few weeks now. It seems to be happy and healthy, is eating fine, swimming fine, breathing fine. On the one side he has these white curly things hanging out of his gill and can also see it in his body. Does not seem to bother him at all. Has anyone ever heard of this or seen this before?

    If you have a way to isolated for a couple of days, you might can try some Myracin, can't think on how to spell it...lol or you can dip him in some ro water with care, and then again you could get a cleaner wrasse, or shrimp
