Right when I got home I saw some tiny squiggly parasites or something... what was that??? omg im so scared..

 

[ceewah]

im using Prime by the way...

Yes, especially with measurable ammonia present. Try to match the temp within a couple of degrees, down a little wouldn't hurt, as someone else mentioned, cooler water can hold more oxygen.

 

[Cholly]

Squigglys are probably just nematodes, that would match with overfeeding and an ammonia spike. They're harmless. The ammonia isn't.

What, how much and how often are you feeding type, number and size fish?

 

[sostoudt]

if its a ammonia caused problem i would do the change, if its a aeration problem i wouldnt meaning (no ammonia).

you dont want any ammonia at all in the tank

Tiny half inch worms on your tank walls? you just need a decent pleco to get rid of the worms they will take care of them in one day

 

[Finalfire9]

If you have thos worms you have some debris build up serouisly get a pleco and stop overfeeding

What, how much and how often are you feeding type, number and size fish?

I have (3) 1.5" AT's, (3) 1.5" IT's, (3) .5" NTT's, (2) 6" Angel fish, (4) 4" ID sharks. Recently I started feeding them market shrimp.. since they are all small, 1 Big shrimp is good enough for all of them but sometimes the ID's eats pellets and occasionally would have left over floating pellets.

Did that cause the ammonia? left over food?

Yeah after feeding you need to net out any uneaten food its a rule of thumb
