no idea what it is. i cant take a photo coz its too small when i zoom it just blurrs. its just a grey sorta egg shape. looks like it got legs, maybe antennas . dont laught at my pic plz lol

 
Could be a fish louse.

Where did you find it in the tank or was it on a fish?
 
they stay at the bottom, they dont swim. theres about 5 of em
 
If there disc shaped and have legs it does sound like fish louse.
Check the fish for sores or puncture wounds.
 
They dont swim. Google fish lice and see if its that.
 
i dotn think it is.. mine dont have like plating.. there just.. smooth.
and 1 or two of my black tetras have like.. sorta blistas on them.. like looks like dead white skin in a ring..
 
Sounds like you have a parasite that feeding on the fish.
Is it a pink or red sore with a circling of dead skin around the edges.

nothign like and ulcar. anyway 3 of my black tetras are now dead and 1 neon.. howver others look healthy and no mark.. and i have killed all the lil things i can see...
 
ok, good luck.
 
I'm personally inclined to believe the creatures you gave an artist's impression of :hey: were actually Ostracods or Copepods, small harmless crustaceans.

I dont think there is actually much correlation between the disease outbreak your fish are suffering and the unidentified creatures :)

Could you possibly get a picture of the blisters on the fish themselves for us? As I think that would helo identify the real problem here B)
