What Is This?!!?
Hey,
I am new to fish forums. I came to ask....WHAT IS THIS hanging out of one of the fish's mouths in my pond? I was photographing some frogs tonight and noticed this swimming around. We have loads of fish in our wildlife pond that has been established for about 7 years. Its full of life, but i'm not sure that kind of life is living in this fishes mouth. Its pretty discusting and the fish must be having a hell of a time with what ever it is. It looks like some kind of worm as I can see what look like filtration apendages at the end of the 'worm'. I would love to know what it is! I'm not really a fish guy, but have nearly completed my degree in zoology, so if someone has some interesting info on this thing, i'd love to read about it.
Thanks,
Nick
