have 3 question here...need help...

1) i have a small partition in one of my tank, so water is not flowing well...resulting in bad water condition...
how do i over come this problem?

2) notice white worm in both my tanks....understand that the tank with bad filtration is the main cause, but the other tank water is quite good...why is there still white worm ard?

3) the tank with the poor water contition, i notice there is alot of woodlice alike insect crawling at the base of the tank. what are they? are they harmful? sorry couldn't provide any pix cos they are too small, and camera cannot forcus.

thanks.
 
Well, the worms...I just had that same problem...They are PROTIEN WORMS...and are not harmful, the are there because of the poor water condition, dirty tank, and or filter...They will go away with water changes and the cleaning of your filters...As for the water flow problem...Try getting a power head, and place it on the side with poor water flow. This should help with the flow....As for the little "bugs" in your tank....I am not sure, I have seen these in a little tank I have, the fish never seemed to be bothered by them, in fact, the loaches I have just ate them up....I would take out the tank decorations, and wash them in the hottest water possible, and let them fully dry before putting them back in...I would also add some salt to the water, and turn up the temp a little bit...REPAIR is a god when it comes to salt in the tank...hopefully he will see this and post here too!
Hope this helps!

I have no way of doing that right now...but I am hoping to do so in the near future...The aro is quite a beauty! Purple, blue, and pinkish haze all over his scales, his dorsal fin is like a tye-dyed dark blue with a purple-pink stripe running the length...I know a description is not good enough, but it will have to do for now! The IT is having issues right now...He is just all black, and it seems a little stressed out...I am trying to convince my B/F to put him down on our 125, but the Aro is such a little prick...He is king of the 125. and like it too him self, so the oscar and the IT are in a 90 gal.....
 
the aro sound like a beauty to me...
btw, any link where i can find pix of a fish lice? suspect those bugs is fish lice...but not attach to my fish...
