Someone on Simply's FB page is inquiring about this. Can anyone identify? Looks nasty!

It looks like a mite, a bit like those that cause mange in animals and scabies in humans

You are correct, it does look like a mite, but she said this came from her discus feces.

All I can think of is if maybe salad/veggies are being fed they may have come with those. Not aware of any arthropoda as intestinal parassites

We're working on a posting problem with Dan, DJW, but he suggests it's just an amoeba.

The detail is not sufficient to tell. The regularity of size suggest the possiblility of eggs of capillaria.
