Hello Everyone!
I thought it would be cool to look at some detritus under a microscope today and this is what I saw:
Now this has me kind of worried. Is it possible that this worm-like organism could be a parasite? Is there a guide on how to properly identify aquatic parasites using a microscope? I'm worried that it could possibly be an internal parasite that got pooped out by my stingray, as they're very susceptible to internal parasites.
Thanks!!
(and yes, I think that it takes a devoted hobbyist to randomly look at fish poop under a microscope
)
