Hi all,
Ham has been fighting a bad bout of coccidia for about 2-3 months now. The other day i noticed this small but visible red-beetle like bug in his tank it had a black spot on its back, wings, was not rounded like a lady bug and had antennae and a striped tail end. I didn't think much of it because it was the first sighting. He had been on totrazuril and his poo finally started looking normal again so I moved him to his new larger tank that I had waiting for him. Now I found another one of these beetles in the NEW tank and his poo was a mess again. I know this can be due to stress because of the move, but my real concern is these bugs. Has anyone else experienced this? Both times I found them I had literally just sterilized the whole tank minutes ago. He eats phoenix worms and no they are not phoenix flies. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!
