» charlee_warlee - weird species

ok so i found these skeleton type species in my 10gallon fish tank but have no clue what they are or where they could have come from. Once these things developed my fish then developed ick. Can anyone help figure out whats going on??

In response to weird species posted by charlee_warlee:

Ick is caused by stress on fish or irregular drops of temperature in your aquarium.

You do not mention if it's salt water or fresh.

Some people actually kill a feeder gold fish to help stabilize the tank and bury it in the gravel; I think that this is going a bit too far.

If your tank is Saltwater you could most likely have bodies of small salt water fish mixed in with the coral. I would recommend taking these remains out washing your gravel and do a 15% water change then treat your fish for ick.

Weird yes but anything is possible!

I have two marigold swords a male and a female. The male is chasing the female but it is also "biting" her. I don't think this supposed to happen. Why and What should I do? Her fins are getting really torn up.
