BUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!

[guppy breeder]

i have lil white bugs liveing in my gravel and i dont know what they are or if they are harmful to my guppies and plants but they only come out at night when the lights are off so can some one help me id thease lil critters

(they are smaller than the gravel about the size of the tip of a gel pen)

They might be a parasite called Callamanus. They show up as a result of overfeeding.

A water change, gravel clean (if possible) and making sure any uneaten food is cleaned out immediately should keep them away.

Hope I helped!

You're referring to planaria, not camallanus.

Whoops, I was reading about Callamanus, and the word drifted over.

Planaria is what I meant. Thanks guys!

Yum, flat worms...clean the gravel well like they said and check your filter media too.
