I was just about to feed my p's and just removed the skin/scale off a blue gill i caught on memorial day weekend (in freezer for about 4 weeks now) and saw these underneath the skin.

yea, my p's like their dinner slightly seasoned :)
I only filled that section, didn't check the rest. but I would assume the whole fish has it like that.
 
AHHHH! i was looking at the picture while I was eating my sour cherry blaster gummies!!
 
thats blackspot parasite. i personally wouldnt feed it to your fish, the parasites are killed when cooked but im unsure about feeding it raw
 
those are thrown out and fed my p flounder that night instead.
 
make sure you always check the fish you catch the parasite is found in fish that live in ponds and lakes
