Fish lice in Jack Dempsey's mouth?

[saradomin]

I saw a Jack at my lfs and when it opened its mouth, I saw this white round object in it. Could it be fish lice? I really have no idea what it looks like, much less what it would look like it a fish's mouth.

And the thing is, I'm getting one of those Jacks in the next month or two so it makes me wonder if the others are potentially infected.

Anyone?

I didn't really see any head or legs. It could be a lesion or something. I really hope I don't accidentally buy that fish when I get my tank set up.

No problem all you do is you ask to look at the jack you are going to buy and inspect him and see if he is clear
