There are worms in my tank

[knutty]

if your fish can get to them, they will eat them. i am serious about the algae fix product though, it never hurt my fish or the plants, but it did kill off some of the snails and definately a ton of worms.

are these 'worms' really tiny white hair-like things that are attatched to the glass, kind of swaying with the current?

 

[Final Dynazty]

Yup

 

[arj]

damn. at first i thought thids was just dust, so i wiped them of with a cloth...

 

[Final Dynazty]

I started to feed them less and it seems that there dieing off

 

[Final Dynazty]

[Final Dynazty]

[Final Dynazty]

Are you sure it's not Hydra? They will latch on and kill the fish if not treated. I forget the treatment, but research Hydra, and see if that could be it.

leeches though there aren't many parasitic aquarium leeches - these should inch worm along the glass or swim s like in the water
treatment maybe be best with a small film canister or such with a bit of eat/or fish food in and some small hole the parasite can go in through , then manually remove daily

planaria should have some form of head shape and are generally harmless

i cant think of any nematode's that would be free living and visible to the naked eye, broad spectrum wormer woold work there though- levamisol/flubendazol


you need to get a definite id on the invader and then you an be sure you are choosig the rght therapy
