As I use the date of the cath for my article on water mites, I often publish in the past and it can be rather difficult to follow the evolution of this small website. I will try to publish a monthly log of my activities on this website.
- 14/07/2011 : some modifications on the article on Sperchon Setiger. This identification is still to confirm.
- 15/07/2011 : a new article on an Atractides found in Brittany the 4 July 2011.
- 16/07/2011 : publications of some pictures of a water mite of Brittany caught the 4th of July. No idea of identification for the moment.
- 18/07/2011 : I give up my identification tentative for the above mentioned water mite. The pictures of the genital area are too bad and doesn’t correspond to any water mite in any of my books.
- 19/07/2011 : I’ve added a logo Creative Common (bottom left) to share my rather poor quality pictures.
- 20/07/2011 : Hosting provider under attack. Site down all the day.
- 25/07/2011 : Presentation of a small brooks in Rakwana in Sri Lanka. I’ve caught a very tiny animal, it may be not a water mite.
I just saw numerous Black, parasites, mites (?), crawling up my aquarium glass, out of the water. I have Never seen these before. I just bought three baby Sarasa Goldfish at the local Pet Store, where I have previously bought other Goldfish, and these « Things » were noticed two days after I bought the Goldfish. I suppose I got them from the Pet Store’s tank. I can’t see any ON my Goldfish, or swimming in the water. They are so Tiny. I just saw them climbing on the Walls, Out of water, when I did my Water Change. As last week, when I did my Water Change, etc., they were Not there. Are these possibly Mites? (Black with legs – looks like Dog Fleas, but are soft, and can be squished with the Touch of one finger.)?? Thanks for any help you can give me! What do I do about these « things »?
