Astinus Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Don't know what it is. Took several pics. Small, about 1/4 inch. Roundish with what appears to be 6 legs. Reminds me of a "Pill-Bug" See Photos..1st pics are from a Little distance to show size...then I took some "Zoomed in". Not the greatest Camera Phone. Good or Bad? Link to comment
Boggers Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 first thought would be an Isopod (bad) hard to tell based on pic if that is the true case here. Link to comment
Astinus Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 I will "Try" to get a better Pic. Link to comment
Astinus Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 Sucked it up with Turkey Baster and Placed in Plastic cup. If Bad, I hope it is the only 1. Link to comment
amored Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 kind of looks like a chunk of a bristle worm. Link to comment
Astinus Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 I do have a Tad bit of those...Bristle worms. But, this doesn't seem to have the same "Head" Structure. Link to comment
vegasgundog Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 It really reminds me of a parasite body wise that I have seen in media somwhere. Link to comment
Astinus Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 As mentioned above, An "Isopod" search results..Similar but different. Some Pictures showed fish with an Isopod in it's mouth and eating the Fish's tongue. It is out of the tank. If it is a "Parasite" or undesirable critter, I hope it was only the 1. Link to comment

nancymatthews Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 You have just discovered a new species of something. You can name it after yourself. If that were in my tank, I'd flush it since I can't identify it. Link to comment

Astinus Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 So do I! I am going to research to see if I can find something that may be predatory to them. I Honestly hope it was just the 1. Link to comment
holy carp Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Is it hard or soft? The photos make it look squishy, in which case I don't think it's an isopod. Can you crop the photos so we can see it larger? Looks like imageshack limits the resolution. Link to comment
