:confused:I've seen these little worm things in the water in my fish tank they just go with the current and wiggle around does anybody know what they are please help!
 
planera...I believe that's how it's spelled.

Usually due to over feeding or poor water quality. Easy fix is to do a quick water change.
 
I clean my fish tank every week its very clean i just cleaned it today but there seems to be more of them what else could it be or are you sure of planera
 
they kinda look like white or a little off white color and there very small they havn't hurt the fish yet though will copper safe work?
 
I've had these in my tank too, they have no caused any harm to my fish. feeding less and doin an extra waterchange or 2 helped me out alot.... I heard these live off the bacteria in the filters?
 
Check yuor filter, if they are white worms, grindals or microworms that is usually where they come from, harmless and great food for fry and small fish, planeria are flat worms instead of round bodied.
