hey i have recently looked at my tank water i have found some shocking stuff there are these very very tiny swimming worms and these forms that are even smaller on the glass of my tank.
This is what i think happened i have been feeding smelt to my fish and well they spit it out the left overs and i cant always pick it up and it gets stuck under my driftwood and plants and i cant pick it up now these worms have appeared some time this week maybe even sooner and i am not sure what they have done to my fish or if they are friendly. i need your help so i know what they are and what threat they posses and how i can get rid of them asap.
these worms look like one a small half a centimeter to centimeter worm that whips its whole body to move and is VERY thin they swim erratically around the tank.
the other worm is a very very very tiny worm like thing the moves like the game snake across my tank glass. i hope i have descriped this well i have S.A cichlids in the tank so if there are any meds i need i hope they work with the fish.
let me know any help is appreciated. thanks!
