Nematode on Eel

[Manda0597]

Hi! I have figured out what the parasite is on my eel (a nematode (anchor worm)). What is the best way to get rid of this? He is in a fish only tank so I would prefer to treat the whole display ya k to assure they go away completely. I tried researching but found different fixes others use. Was curious on you guys experience and best fix for this. Thank you!

Can you post a picture? Anchor worms are actually a copepod, not a worm. Nematodes cause something called filigree disease in eels.
