Hi-
I wonder if I put this in the right forum, sorry if I made a mistake.
I have a 105 and it WAS full of years old Acros encrusting all over everywhere and all was good. Then somehow I got this black bug.
Let me back up for a second, I am a marine zoologist by training. So I have lab equipment and I know what I am looking at most of the time.
I always dip and quarantine, but somehow this bug got by me. I never dipped with Bayer nor Interceptor. I have been trying.
I am happy to be wrong but this is some kind of flatworm: but it is not stopped by any flatworm treatment. Dipping in Bayer, KCL, iodine doesn't seem to stop it completely.
Before anyone comments this is some kind of arthropod/ crustacean, please revisit your phyla. This thing has clear eyespots, a clear tail, and moves like a worm. Again happy to be wrong...
So since this is not AEFW, not a "bug", any ideas on how to kill it?
My next step is to just go with FOWLR + my birds nest coral and my setosa which I cannot stop from growing, in fact these are becoming pests they are so large. Then setup a new tank from scratch.
