While doing a water change the other day I noticed that there are bugs in the tank that appear to me to be "Fish Lice". Very small, fast moving, and appear to jump when chased with a turkey baster (finally was able to buy one!). Also, long white wormy things that mostly float around, but don't settle on the glass like planaria do. How would there be fish lice in my tank if that's what they are?? I haven't introduced any plants or fish to the tank, just a new cave for my babies to hide out in.
Some of the little devils seem to have taken up residency ON MY BABIES
Both the licey things and the wormy things. Are they harmful? Where did they come from? And how should I get rid of them????
I do weekly water changes cause the tank is fairly new (8 weeks) and it gets hot here in Perth WA. I vaccuum regularly since having planaria appear in the tank (All gone now) and appart from the cave, which was washed before putting it in, haven't added any thing new.
I bought a product called PARA-CIDE from Aqua Master which says, "Each Tablet Contains: TRICHLORFON 20mg - an anticholinesterase compound"
Is this safe to use? And will it work?
