Want to see a weird fish issue on video?

All of my plecos (bristle nose) and my yoyo loaches seem to be showing this problem. Internal parasite of some kind is suspected. I took a video, look closely at the yoyo loaches belly and watch it change.

Looks like aliens moving in there! What every happened. Looks like it was a good month ago.

Scary is right. Where do these things come from? I overfeed in my shrimp tanks and there are now Planaria, Nematodes and Copepods. Sometimes I just want to go back to having only goldfish. ;)

See I would think that too, but I had literally just had the fish for two days when I observed this. The place I got them from didn't exhibit this problem. I ended up not treating them with anything that worked, and gave up since they seemed to be eating and behaving normally otherwise. Now ~ several months later the loaches no longer do that weird belly thing. One of the pleco's still does it but its very hard to notice.
