kschaefers Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 So after all my fish have died within the last week I have had an outbreak of what I think are copepods but these guys are relatively larger then what I have seen before I tried to get a good picture but it hard to focus on somethin that small but you can kinda make out what it is, and if they aren't pods what are they and should I try to get rid of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchell Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Its hard to tell from the pictures, but some look like they have the shape of flat worms. Do they look like this? Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Looks like copepods to me too. You should see my QT tank, its getting hard to see into the tank I have so many pods on the glass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kschaefers Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 Ok so its nothing to worry about then I just didn't notice them before and then my mandarin died and they sprung up since he wasn't eating them anymore I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Yep, thats what a mandarin eats. Thats why people always suggest a large tank thats been setup for awhile, so the mandarin has enough to eat since they don't readily eat frozen foods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberduck9 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 They kinda look like baby mysids to me. Also good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
