| FW Copepod? -- 05/16/07 Hi Bob, <Hello
George!> Just found this beauty in one of my tanks and I was
wondering if you know whether it is a parasitic copepod or not.
Mind you, it was found in a freshwater tank. Thanks a lot for your
help !! All the best, George J. Reclos <It does appear to be an
aquatic Acarinan... not a Copepod, but might be deleterious...

absence of other arthropod life, the use of an organophosphate like
DTHP/Masoten/Trichlorfon... or Dimilin. Please read here re:
