Ok,
These things have decided to latch themselves to my monsters..I have Prazi'd the tank & prazi'd this little S.O.B. also...
So ive never seen these before..
Can anyone shed some light on these pics for me.

but they have latched themselves to the Cynodon Gibbus (Vampire)

I just hope to prazi works ..i am doing a water change tonight when I get home. Im sure I will scoope up more.

Gill lice? Ergasilus maybe

prazi doesn't work on them. Best to inspect all your fish and plug them out as soon as you see them.

hey charles,
prazi killed the one i took the photos off..

i actually caught the "whatever its called" haha & added a teaspoon to the bowl of water & watched it die..so it has to work ????

[charles]

Ben, it might be damage already when you pull it off the fish. And try putting the same dosage of 1 teaspoon in a bowl, apply that to your tank, it will most likely kill your fish in there as well. Think about the concentration ratio.

true, true ...

hmm..well what to do then..

i hope when i come home today, there is no deaths of my fish.

just the bugs..
