  1. It’s a fish louse. They give me the heebie jeebies. 🙁

    I would check for more lice and ask around or Google for a tank treatment.

    Edit: I should mention fish lice are a type of crustacean, not a bug. They’re more common in like koi, but I’ve seen quite a few posts about them in smaller aquariums.

    Fish lice, what that other guy said, bad thing, manual removal AND potassium permanganate bath
