so i was admiring my new coffee table aquarium i recently set up and noticed something floating around in the current. i looked close and it was moving! the body was about half an inch long and it just looked like a large maggot wiggling around, but then... it had a tail! the tail was at least the length of the off white body and dark brown. next it got a hold on some gravel and began to crawl around, as i got my camera out to get a pic for you guys it burrowed up to the base of its tail then stopped. its tail extended to over an inch and started to wiggle like a worm!!!
now obviously it is a parasite of some kind that wants to be eaten by a large fish to carry out the rest of its life cycle, but has anyone heard of this thing? i'm pretty sure it came out of the grape wood i added because it was soaking in a stock tank outside for a few months.
