Parasite under microscope

Keep in mind I have no idea what im looking at but the long ones in my mind are the bad guys and the the grain of rice looking ones are the good guys. The blobby ones are neutral leaning good guys. This is based on what I have made up during my observations.

John has outgrown his time out tub.

End of February I almost lost John, I had no idea why he was sick. I know he was previously treated for parasites so i didn't think it was that. Plus he's over a year old, wouldn't he have gotten sick from the parasites before now? when he got sick I gave him some melafix not knowing what was going on, the next day he had some lumpy stringy white poop. Parasites!! I have him some strong parasite meds, he had a miserable two weeks, I was regularly hauling 5 gallon buckets with a broken finger to keep his tank clean. It paid off and now hes growing at an alarming rate. I also remembered I own a microscope if anyone wants to see a parasite video.
