We've fairly positively established that it is a flat segmented worm. The flat part effectively rules out both Leeches, and Earthworms; neither of which are flat.ReelBigFish;4571655; said:My guess is either a leech of some sort or a freshwater oligochaete, but you need high quality pictures for anyone to ID it

I'm still going to see how he does in my care. I do love my worms.
I didn't realize this worm popped out of a Pbass....guess I should've read over this thread more carefully.Dark Jester;4571754; said:You came to that conclusion based on ... ?

Pretty much we've agreed that it's a flatworm of some sort. The fact that it was found in a PBass tank after they administered a dewormer indicates it is likely a tapeworm of some sort. The most likely tapeworm to be found in fish is Diphyllobothrium Latum.
Anyway, Knifegill, got any updates on this monster? Is it still alive?![]()
