Theres black copepods and the "horrible black flatwormbug" that your refuring to. Im not sure what they are, if your setosas in bad shape i woulf just dip it

So What Exactly are Black Bugs then?

Do they look like Copepods or do they look like Flatworms?

I was told they look like Red Bugs but Black.

But somebody in the above Thread has what looks like Flatworms but is calling them Black Bugs.

Can somebody clear this up please?

The black flatworms are a nightmare, they move quick opposed to the regular aefws. Have to watch out for them, theyve ben comming in from bali maricultures lately

Aren't Flatworms the easiest Pest to Kill?

I am told they come right off in a Bayer Dip.

Well yep, considering the protocol. You can just blow them off the acro with a baster or dip. The aefws die without a host. So after a series of baste and dips they can go away quickly. Not sure about the black ones, from what ive heard theyre hard to kill. But its what ive heard lol.
