Today i bought some plants:
amazon sords, and two others.
I have them in quarantine and i found a small clear worm looking worm thing (i dont know what it was), to me it could be only one thing, a parasite.:eek:
if theres one, theres always more, so what can i do to clean them(i do not like the bleach idea)?
 
With out seeing the thing . It will be hard to tell what it is and how to take care of the problem. Check with the place you got the plants from. There are many ways to kill these things.
 
There are aquatic worms that can live in aquariums (especially planted aquariums) that are not parasitic and occur more frequently than parasitic worms. Planaria and tubifex are pretty common and one of those is more than likely what you have.
