| Renee, the photos of individual parasites are helpful for identifying parasites species and then choosing the right agent to eradicate them. But what they lack is a perspective of size. Ich is a rather large parasite. Other small rounded and semi rounded protozoa are typically smaller. These would be chilodonella and some voews of costia under higher powers.
Again, the pictures are not very clear but the things you have on there look suspeciously like skin flukes ( look for those 'hooks' on the thin body) and chiliodonella.
If this is the case, we need to change our plan of attack. JR |
