Are these bloodworms?

[loki132]

i have these red worm things that i find occasionally in my tubifex culture

Heres a pic

are these bloodworms? and do they eat my tubifex because thats what they look like theyre doing, although i havent noticed any decrease in the tubifex population.

I would say yes (imo) although I don't have much experience on this matter and have never seen live tubiflex before they do present a striking similarity to the frozen kind.

the small ones look like they could be camallanus. If so good luck it is a pain in the butt internal parasite to get ride of.
