Copepods or flukes friends

Have you tested your water?

Yes

If I did not test my water...

1. ...I recognize that I will likely be asked to do a test, and that water tests are critical for solving freshwater health problems.

Do you do water changes?

Yes

If I do not change my water...

1. ...I recognize that I will likely be recommended to do a water change, and water changes are critical for preventing future freshwater health problems.

Saw 3 of these crawling on my l332 green chubby pleco!
Are they regular copepods or flukes? I never seen copepods actually crawl on a fish.
