Hey I have a question! I had a snowflake come in to my store with it looked like worms breaching all over his body, and we tried to help remove them buy giving him a fresh water dip and isolating him. The worms were small and blackish and they were all over his body. Would you happen to know what they were and how to go about treatment?

huh that sounds like a pretty nasty case of parasites. I’ve never dealt with that before but i’ll post it in case anyone else has. 

Whatever that is, he needs an anti-parasite medication, pronto. One of the meds that goes in the entire tank and is meant to treat internal worms ought to do the trick. If the freshwater dip made some of the parasites come off, that’s probably worth repeating daily. If not, don’t.
