Sorry, i'm not able to post photos. She seems to be acting fine, and now the "worm" is gone. I don't know what to make of this.

I just noticed that my bigest reddest RCS has a tiny little white thing sticking out of her back. :cry: I thought something might be wrong with her because she developed an opaque pink stripe down her back a while ago (she use to be translucent), I thought it was something that just happened with ag...

I've been doing some searching trying to find a picture that looks like them. I think they are ostracods. I'm going to go to my parents house to get my microscope. Go to http://www.dogpile.com and do a search for images of ostracod2, it will be the second image. Sorry I couldn't get the picture to s...

They seem to be fine. They come out and swim around alot more now. I just wish I knew what all of these bugs are. Probably need a new thread for that though.
