I seem to have bad luck no matter what hobby I pursue.
Last night after lights out I was fishing for a welk that was cruising around my tank for a few days! I got him, but now ....
I happen to see a bug on my glass about 1/4" in length and then a few more on the sand ... looked like they were chowin down, you could actually see them tossing the sand around!!! So today I did some research on the net and came up with the "Cirolanid Isopod".
Now I'm not actually sure this is what they are although they sure do look it. From my understanding there is a beneficial "Pod" that looks very similar to these bloodsuckers!
In my tank right now I have an O. clown and my cleaner crew ... the clown shows no visible signs of parasites nor have I seen anything attached to him, so at this point I don't want to jump to conclusions and start trying to catch these things if in fact they are beneficial.
I'm going to try and catch one tonight and take a pic of it to see if anyone here can give me more insite to what it maybe!
Thanks
