Hi everyone! It has been a while since I last posted... anyways! My friend's goldfish are suffering from a strange illness that I am unfamiliar with. From what she told me, they look like they have dark spinters coming out of their bodies. I looked at the goldfish disease lists but I can't find anything. I will try to get a picture soon, but if anyone knows anything about splinter-like growths on goldfish any information would be very helpful.

Sounds like Anchor worm.

I agree that it sounds like anchor worm - how big are the goldfish?
