Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hi Everybody
I just recently got myself a microscope to help identify what has been killing off my fish for many months now. Just let everybody know that it is not water quality or any other basic thing that could go wrong in causing disease I have been fish keeping for about 12 yrs now. I know there is something killing off my fish but what ever it is either came in on some new cardinals tetras or a snail or live java moss. Anyway I have found so many things in my tanks that I'm not sure what is harmful to fish and what isn't. I have tried to research them but still not sure because I know there is something in there that is not good. Here is a list of things I have found and from looking on the net I got some kind of idea what they are:
Aeolosomas
Nematode Worms or Roundworms
Vorticella
Anisonema of some kind
Rotarias of some kind
Heliozoas
Amoebas of some kind
Ciliates of some kind
Does anyone know if any of these can be harmful to fish? I had no idea that so many things lives in an aquarium that we cannot see but I will tell you this I will never suck a hose again to get the water started from my tank again!! Ewwww..
Any help would be greatly appreciate.
