I would guess some form of leech, it's relatively large.Does anyone know what this is exactly? I plucked two of them from the fins of a Fantail Darter that I recently collected. This picture is at 10x magnification. When attached to the fish, they looked like a dill seed in shape and texture.
Any help is appreciated.

It probably is the same thing although this Fantail came from Preston Spring here in Lex. The Darter was pale in color and now that the leeches have been removed, it has slowly started to darken and look less stressed. Thanks for the help everyone.I collected 2 Frecklebelly Darters from the Green River 3 weeks ago and one of them has a parasite on it. The leech started on the tail fin and has moved up the body and is attached to the underside. I need to pull it off. I would be it is the same thing.

I have sampled Wolf Run Creek, near Preston Springs, in the past. There is an access point at Valley Park off Deauville Dr. There are some beautiful Orangethroat Darter varients there that some refer to as the 'Thoroughbred Darter'. I haven't been down there in a year though.

I sampled Wolfe creek last weekend at Enterprise Dr. (just parked in one of the warehouse parking lots) and collected three "Thoroughbreds". Right above the bridge (and the Snapper lawnmower and shopping cartI have sampled Wolf Run Creek, near Preston Springs, in the past.

Also, if you plan on going anytime soon, take a concealed weapon of your choice because there are feral men living in the woods out there.
