if hes eating fine it shouldnt be too big a problem.
its always the case with hydrolycus,unless its a huge problem theyll continue eating fine.
springtails?found in aquariums?
i find springtails in tarantula cages bro.


A while back i found some little bugs in my sump. I posted the Thread and based on my description I was told it is from overfeeding pellets and I think the guys name was "zoolander" or something like that that said they were springtails.
 
the little white thing moving like a slug is harmless also (i forget wht they r called)

it must not be a gill fluke since prazi does kill them.

i would take a rely good pic and post it

planeria
 
Man, i dont have a camera good enough to shoot it... but ill try later on. if not, ill just move him into a 20gl and prazi him again heavy (was adding about 1/2 cap full extra every time I added. 3 days straight for 50gls then 1/2 cap for a 25gls of water change... for about 3 weeks straight)

Ill try to get a snap tonight

If its Planeria, do you think he ate one on accident and it got stuck in his gills?

What do u guys think? Should I take it out if its still there by tomorrow?

dont think thats really possible.
if that were the case,we'd have a lot more people asking that,
cool,never seen sprintails in water before,just in really humid substrate(out of water).

ah i see it.
going closer down isnt really a good thing,looks like it may be going toward the opening of the gills.

springtails are tiny invertebrates that can be found in moist substrate(soil,peat,etc.) in many reptile or invertebrate enclosures.
they are sorta like a clean up crew.
 
Looks like a gill fluke - if prazzi does kill it like stated earlier chances are it's dying. Like i said before takes a few weeks for them to disappear. After treating for parasites I always throw away any filter media to protect against re-infection, eggs can get onto them.
 
How can I tell 100% if it is an anchor worm? I dont want to pull it out and then its an "oops"
