Hello Everyone,
I have had a Red Tail Catfish imported from the Amazon basin named Orca.
As always, I like to view all my fish's fecal matter under the microscope, and when I did.
Orca's fecal matter showed me that he was carrying a few ciliates and Nematodes and 4 other micro organisms I have never seen before and I strongly feel like they originate from the Amazon as in my 5 years of fish keeping I haven't encountered them.
(Orca is in the clear now with no evidence there were any parasitic organisms within him except for the 1st image, just wanting an ID)
For the experienced ones, here are a few pictures.
(I am giving MFK another chance after I deleted my account as couldn't stand the experienced ones putting down the beginners)
