I think one of their nicknames is marine pill bug lollooks like a pill bug.. weird.
I think you need to set up a dedicated tank for it. A 180-240 will do. Even larger is better. They get aggressive in tanks less than 8 feet long.
LOL So good!I think you need to set up a dedicated tank for it. A 180-240 will do. They get have aggression issues in tanks less than 8 feet long.
Yeah. Sucked a lot. Beautiful exquisite fire fish. Only had him for 4 days and was very healthy, swimming and eating like a pig... until this thing latched on overnight and he didn’t recover.Wow,
Sorry to hear.
I believe it was a cirolanid isopod
Hmm what you caught almost looks like a chiton not a Tongue-eating louse.
When in doubt throw it out!!
Heck yeah. They suck! Learned that first handI recently purchased a few frags, and saw one of these mugs when I dipped it. Glad I opted for it to not go in my tank!
Did you see the isopod attached to the fish while it was still healthy and swimming around?Heck yeah. They suck! Learned that first hand
+1 on cirolanid... Never knew about them until now. Sorry to hear that.I believe it was a cirolanid isopod
Perfectly fine last night, woke up while tank was still dark and saw black spot on him and thought maybe a bruise because he lived in a tight spot, came home after a couple hrs and he was bottom up in the middle of the tank and I lifted him with a net and it was attached right behind his fin.Did you see the isopod attached to the fish while it was still healthy and swimming around?
Gotcha. It does look kind of like a cirolanid isopod but I'd need a closer picture to say for sure. I was just asking in case the brand new fish died from other causes and then the (possibly Innocent) isopods moved in to clean up the mess.Perfectly fine last night, woke up while tank was still dark and saw black spot on him and thought maybe a bruise because he lived in a tight spot, came home after a couple hrs and he was bottom up in the middle of the tank and I lifted him with a net and it was attached right behind his fin.
