fishLOL

Well it seems that my cray fish has things that look like white worms on it. um... it looks as if the white worms are Planaria but are stuck on the shell of the crayfish. i just recently caught it during my short swim in the stream. It is about 6 inches long (kinda looks like a lobster). these white leech thingies are crowded mostly on the claw and legs of my crawfish.

HELP!!!


I will get pictures as soon as i can. i cant find the chord to connect the camera and computer. sorry.

Hi wecome to fishore!
if it happens to be a type of leach, it is most likely because it was wild caught. I dont know what to do, i ve never had any planaria in my tanks. Im sure someone with more experience will help you shortly.
good luck

Do not eat it raw!! whatever you do. (monsters inside me episode) Try soaking the crawfish in tap water or something.
