my grow out tank it look like everyones sick my cuban is the top fish in the tank but when i came in he was just sitting on the bottom the other fish were at the top which isn't abnormal but when i went to feed them nobody ate not even the cuban i put some salt in there and turned up the heat but idk if i need to do anything further im doing a water change later....

Also i fed by dovii in the 150 some worms yesterday and i noticied that there are a whole bunch of little worm looking things on the glass should i be alarmed??? idk if theres a connection through the worms i fed him and whats on the glass but is it something to be alarmed about???
 
the small worms on the glass are probably planeria(i think thats what its called) and are harmless. they are from overfeeding. heat and salt work for ich, not most things. get on some waterchanges and look for uneaten food. gravel vac heavy if you have gravel and just do a few extra WC over the next few days. anytime you raise temp beware of O2 levels.

ok thanks
 
got the worm name wrong, but if they are max maybe 1/4th inch and very thin and move in a crazy zigzag move then they are harmless and actually good food for small fish. a group of tetras would be in heaven for a few days eating them. either way they usually never seen unless there is abundant extra food for them and their population gets out of control.
