Looks like fish lice to me, do you see them ever moving ? Or maybe but not so much anchor worms They as a rule tend to be a td longer then these are. What part of the fish where they found to be on and the photo was taken ? If gills ?

The body of the fish is covered in them. Im half tempted to go buy a microscope so I can get a better look at this, haha.
If it is anchor worm or fish lice, cupramine should take care of it.
Here is what I am doing as for treatment...
I did the 2nd dose of cupramine today. The salinty is 1.015, not totally hypo, but close. | |

If I had some formalin, I'd dip it. Nobody around here sells it. | |

Here is another pic of the same fish, same side and almost the same angle. You can see in the pic compared to the first one, there is quite a bit less of the creatures on it. A: they are lice and they are moving around. B:the treatment is working.C:they have fallen off to reproduce.
Lets hope for B! 
oh yeah, the fish has lost quite a bit of its coloration to. | |
