What is this? I'm grossed out!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Yeah, the pics are of the same creature. So i think cleaning the tank out would be a good idea, my new weekend project! I will have to track down that medication too. Everyone looks good, but I havent seen their mouths yet hehe. Poor sabertooth, thanks for the condolenses! I wonder if I should take it to fish and game, probably not a bad idea.

I will tell the pet store I got if from too, it would be good that they are at least aware of it. They said they had the fish for a long while beforehand, so hopefully it didn't infect too many others.

What part of Washington are you from?
 
Kinda weird that it killed the fish though. Based on what I read, it said that parasite just replaces the fish's tongue, but does not further harm and the fish can use the parasite as a functioning tongue.
 
I'm in Bonney Lake, it was not a local store I got it from though, had to drive a ways. I would think it was the horrible fungus that killed the fish, and it just so happened that I was pulling the fish after the parasite was possibly trying to find a new host. I'm gonna run by my local store and pick up prazi pro and then go see if the critter is still alive in the Styrofoam bin I put it in last night. Is leasing pro safe for scaleless fish??
