I think the media has a bit shortage of news nowadays hahaha.

This scary parasite is known for years.
Still facinating how nature works hahaha.

Ever heared of the Candiru catfish?
Advise never pee in your tank when you're keeping these hahahaha

Really?...I had never heard of this parasite until now

Doing a search on the Candiru now...

Oh yes, I've heard of that legend before....thank goodness it most likely isn't true, lol

WOW, thanks DD for the vid, I really have not known about this parasite until now...saltwater only, correct?

Poor fish, what good is eating food if you can't taste it??...besides keeping yourself alive, of course

Yum...Never much cared for tongue, meself, but the pioneers claimed it was the best part.

Think it is saltwater indeed. Though I now and then suspect my mother in law to have such a "tongue" as well hahahaha.
