I think a shot of this type go together with two lines of explanation because it is not common thing, at least to understand what it is.

good point,

it is a crustacean of the family of argulidi, characterized by a strong crushed dorsal-ventral and parasitic habits.

the two circular shapes are suckers that allow the creature to anchor the scales or on the gills of the fish, if it focuses the eye to the center of the animal will perceive the small clawed hands, which serve to tear the tissues of the victim minnow.

the four pairs of legs, as well as locomotion think you need also to assimilate nutrients, as in many other micro-crustaceans.

found in the sediment of a pond where I'm performing analysis, never seen before.
I brought it home and put in one of my aquariums, the next morning I found myself on the veter.
original length of about 4mm.

greetings to all
