Planaria can get quite large. If the water chemistry of the tank is off planaria will come, and grow. The way she described the "leech" is exactly what a planaria or flatworm would look like.... Planaria often hide in the gravel as well, and feed off of waste matter in the tank.
CrAzY, though didn't think they'd eb that big, and there's almost no way for a leech to get it. i agree with this guyI try not to overfeed that tank although with only the betta and the few scissortails who are pretty non-consequential even though they are two inches long they are very slight of build, it is hard to make sure they all get some and not have any hit the bottom.
water changes are 50% weekly and there are quite a few fast growing stem plants in the tank as well.
I have been wanting some sort of bottom dwellers and was thinking about a trio of kuhli loaches to help keep the bottom picked up and to add some interest.
The rasboras can stay or go if that would overstock, but maybe some bottom feeders would help in this instance.
The thing is nasty looking and gives me the heeby jeebies!!!!!
do I just feed less and hope for the best or can I nuke it with something without hurting the fish?
