    Ok.....your wish is my command. NO

    Unfortunately, that's a lie and those are real. isopods - Google Image Search

    If I could find my picture of a tongue isopod, you'd probably barf.

    Hi inwall75, I think your right! they do look like isopods but im struggling to figure out if they are the blood suckin type! They do swim very fast and hardly ever stay still so now im worried they might be the bad type?
    What do you think?! I have read the info pages you put for me but just not to sure what type they are:confused:

    There's no need to worry. If you have a fish parasitic isopod, you catch the fish and then pull it off. No biggie.

    The first thing I'd do if I saw either one of those pods is grab my shotgun. That whale pod was huge , it must weigh 50lbs.
