Any advice, fish seem to be fine...sand bottom, refugium sump system,

180 Fresh, JD cichlid, Red devil, and red tail cat...

water is tinted from two newer pieces of driftwood??

THe stick to the glass, and clog my sock nearly every other day:(

Thanxs

A picture maybe tomorrow, forgot the camera....

Actually upon closer exam...a VERY small worm crawls from the fish poop looking tube looking thingy....geez its got me!!
 
bump for ya got no idea but somebody who does will be along
 
What food do you feed them? My guess is that they're nematodes. Some will host themselves on the fish, some don't. Guppy had recommended the following in the past threads..fenbendazole, metronidazole, levamisole, or others. I used the Metronidazole in particular.;)
 
A quick update, after much research, they act like tubifex worm, they DO live in a small tube, made from crappy stuff....a small very small worm emerges from these "tubes" if provoked....

How to get rid of them??
 
they're leaches. they come with wild-caught fish
 
or fish stores...that aren't that well.
what kind of fish are they?

some kind of pesticide(for aquariums) i'll read my japanese book tonight and tell you tomorrow. since they start to take over your tank..and fill up the tank walls.
 
Is there any way to provide us pictures instead?
