Double Trouble - A Parasitic Party in the Fish Tank!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness a bizarre underwater gathering that could only happen in the wild world of aquariums. Meet the unlikely duo causing a stir - the Greenland shark eye parasite and its unsuspecting host, the Tinfoil barb. As if straight out of a sci-fi movie, Ommatokoita elongata, commonly known as the parasitic copepod, has hitched a ride on our flashy friend from Mekong and Chao Phraya basins. This tiny troublemaker is frequently found clinging onto fish eyes for dear life! But don't be fooled by their peculiar partnership; these two have quite different backgrounds. While our tinfoil buddy enjoys his time splashing around in medium to large-sized rivers and flooded fields across Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo - even making appearances in Portugal, Spain, and Florida (USA) as gaming fish - his newfound companion prefers to lurk beneath the surface within aquarium trade circles. With vibrant colors illuminating their underwater playground and an air of mystery surrounding them both, it's no wonder they've become stars of Paulo de Oliveira's lens. So dive into this mesmerizing snapshot where nature meets artistry – an enchanting glimpse into aquatic wonders that will leave you hooked!
