I've had this rainbow since it was about an inch long. It's coming up on 2 inches now and starting to get some color in the fins. Until I saw this video I thought it was parasite free. But it appears to have two parasites attached to the left gill plate. I guess my vision isn't what it was in my younger years :unsure: . I didn't put this one on Google Video because the quality would be reduced too much. Attached File  Rainbow_gill_parasites.wmv   2.55MB   33 downloadsAre these things parasites?

Also, I think that the wmv is being changed to an avi file extension by this web site. Maybe that's why some people were having trouble opening the attachment in my other parasite ID thread?

Anchor worm? I have a problem downloading the files as they come down as "index.php"

By trying to open in a different tab I can get them to download.

The first one looked something like an argulus, not sure and couldn't see it all that well.

Please post a picture, I cant download either of your videos.

I've also noticed photos show more detail than most videos.
