Nematode ID and... eggs?

[eatyourpeas]

I just found this little dude (about 10mm long) sliding down the aquarium glass into the substrate. It could be a detritus worm, but I am not sure. Also, are the little yellow balls inside it eggs?

i think it is a deitrus worm the yellow things are the dirt it ate i think. it is a worm after all

Looks like a standard detritus worm to me. And either it's about to lay eggs, or it's been eating very small cheese puffs.

I concur, it’s a detritus worm.

They can reproduce without a partner, so I suggest you remove it. Poor cleaning and/or over feeding can lead to a boost in detritus worm population.

I shall stop putting cheese puffs in the tank

Always a good policy.
