I've seen dino's in the tanks there a few times so its totally possible.


Either way since its a parasite of any type if your fish all die off you'd need to go fallow for at least 6-8 weeks to let the parasite die off in your tank, then qt new fish before stocking again.

Sorry for your lose(s) its tuff to lose the little buggers.
