My fish have this white large round white dots on them. Not all of them
just some. If I rub them they fall off. They also rub againt the items
in the pond. I dont think its ich cause there large. Some have 1 some
have about 5-6. The 1 pacu now has 2 on its top fin. Is it a parasite?
They are white roundish and can also get thicker. Is there a all perpose
medication for this case? The pet store has them on one of the fish I
bought from them and they dont even know or wont tell me. Now what?

======================
Anchor worm? It sounds like a parasite but it's hard to tell which one by
your description.

They are white and the size of a large pin head. About 1/16 of a inch or
a little larger. Round in size. Thank you

They certainly sound like some kind of parasite. Now you need to find out
how to eradicate them from your pond or quarantine tank. I hope someone
with more knowledge of parasites can help you.

When I buy new fish I always quarantine them for at least 21 days. I
learned the hard way how difficult and expensive treating fish in a pond can
be. Not to mention the fact new fish can infest healthy ones you already
own. Good luck.....
