Again guys , another new problem with new bacteria or worm .

[Sanotsuke]

Okay this time

My tank
has something new i didnt see it before

Long thin body , with 3-5 tentacles/claw at the end it pretty small
probebly 2-3mm long

Bad good? it seem to be in the main tank.. and attach to the glass..

i got a feeling it a lich of some kind or lice.
giving the idea that it stick to the wall and probably it will claw into any passing fish

im getting tired of all this new worm or parasite that keep poping out

how do i get rid of them =/

Sounds like hydra. Usually appear from too much nutrients in the water from over feeding/ lack of water changes etc. Often occur in conjucntion with planaria. Water changes and reduced feedings will get rid of it pretty quick. Both are harmless to fish.

There's a bunch of these threads popping up lately! I'm a little superstitious that if I read them I'm gonna find some weird creature in my tank! Haha. I feel that way when I read the diseases section too.
Let us know how it goes when you fix it... what works, what doesn't, etc.

sounds like hydra to me.Only dangerous to fry or small live foods like daphnia or bbs.

I agree its hydra. I had them before, I think they hitchhiked on some plants. They disappeared after awhile.
