i finally got off of my couch and went out to the rivers today to look for some crawfish for my tank. I found two of them and brought them home (along with a river clam and a bunch of baby fish)my question is that once i got them here i looked at them closely and it looked like one had hook worms so i pulled them off, but it also had little bumps that look a lot like ich, but as far as i know they cant get ich, so anyone have any ideas what it could be?

are you putting them in with anything else? :O
you should be careful with wild caught species. You should quarantine it before even considering putting it in your tank.
wild caught species can carry a lot of bacteria and unwanted parasites and the stuff on yours could very well be a parasite

The crayfish need to be kept by themselves. Do you know how to care for the baby fish? What to feed them and how often? They will need lots of fresh oxygenated water as soon as they start to get bigger.
the bumps are on the top of the crawfish on the tail and a little behind the head. i wasnt worried so much about the crawfish, but more about if those bumps will reproduce and harm my fish. Any way to treat tham besides trying to pull them off like i did the hook worms?
on the other subject, i know a little about baby fish but anyone have any good pointers to make the process even smoother?
