| I received the following mail:
Paul, do you know this parasite?
It moves like a flea! I thought it was Chilodonella, but the little “legs” put me off. What do you say? |

| Miskien is dit glad nie 'n paresiet nie... jy weet mens kry een / twee selige oganismis ook. As dit 'n parasiet is is my raai Chillodonella. |

| Hi,
It's not a parasite - vossie is probably right. It's just a naturally occuring micro-organism.
In a drop of pond water lots of things should move around under a microscope it's a sign of healthy water not parasites.
Regards,
Chris |
