Meet the nasty hazardous worm ..... "Macrogyrodactylus simentiensis".

If you ignore them, this is what those can do: (infection and death of bichir will be next)

Dang! Make me wonder if this is the cause of death on my Teugelsi. Some scale area on them lost the color like that, and I thought they looked like that because they're death
