Thanks for that CFC. I've just remembered that when I put the meds in to kill the snails, I took the carbon out of the filter(fluval 3 plus). When I switched the filter back on it chucked out a lot of bits from the sponges. Could this be where the worms have come from?

Hi CFC Thanks for a quick reply. No I haven't put anything in the tank to help it along. The only things in the tank are sand, plants, a bit of bogwood(boiled and soaked for 3 weeks) and the snails !

I'm in the process of cycling my new tank, without any fish you'll all be pleased to know, and tonight I've noticed lots of very small white worms on the inside of the glass. I've checked for any other threads to this problem and it seems that they are called planaria. But 'cos I've got no fish...

I had the same problem a few weeks ago with one of my platies. It was still eating, although probably not as much as the others. I tested the water every couple of days and that wasn't the cause. So I took a walk upto my LFS and the guy there reckons it's because it was old. Hope this helps. :/

thanks for all the help and advice. that nasty little fish of mine is going on a trip back to the shop tomorrow, where i'll be swapping him for another and also getting a replacement for the 'victim'. has anyone else got such a friendly and helpful 'fish shop' ?

The tank's fairly small - only about 4 gallons. I've not tried a bigger fish in there mainly because of the size of the tank.

there's one male platy who seems to take a dislike to any new fish I introduce to the tank. he chases them all around the tank like he's trying to bite them, and then within a few days they're dead. It's really not very nice. Any help would be welcome.

What a brill site!! I'm new to keeping fish and came across this forum by chance, and thought I'd better join.
