Little White "Things" All Over the Glass??!!!

[dbcb314]

I have thise very small, little white "bugs" of some sort all over the glass. They move kind of like worms.

I have salt in the tank trying to kill them but that didn't work. They don't seem to be on the fish at all from what I can tell. They also don't seem to be on anything but the glass

what are they and how do i get rid of them

Planaria. Salt and anything else will not help. What you need to do is cut down your food rations and do more water changes. Planaria are harmless but they indicate your tank maintenance is inadequate.

Gotcha thanks


Damn school (one more semester lol) has slowed down my tank cleaning time. Thats odd though I only feed once a day.

THANKS!

it could be the amount at each feeding not the frequency. i used to feed 3 times a day but never had them, each meal was relished though and nothing went to waste, as an example.
also more water changes as lupin stated, i do once a week of about 20-30% now but i only feed once a day now.

Yeah I had these guys swimming around and on the glass of my tank my girlfriend thought they were kinda neat I thought they pissed me off. First time I was right in her eyes cause they gone now I'm much more diligent about feeding and cleaning.

Secondary to over feeding and overall lack of tank maintence. Decreasing hours of light may help as well. Good Luck.
