[Platoon]

I posted this same thread in the general area...



Any advice, fish seem to be fine...sand bottom, refugium sump system,

180 Fresh, JD cichlid, Red devil, and red tail cat... no worms on or attacking the fish??? nothing that I can see at all on the fish...

water is tinted from two newer pieces of driftwood??

THey stick to the glass, and clog my sock nearly every other day

Thanxs

A picture maybe tomorrow, forgot the camera....

Actually upon closer exam...a VERY small worm crawls from the fish poop looking tube looking thingy....geez its got me!!

I had the same problem a while back and couldn't find any info on them. I was cleaning my filter and noticed the mesh was fiull of tiny centimeter brown worms. I thought it was one of my fishes poop. But there were so many and they didn't seem to break down to slime like poop. I have not seen any of these worms in the filter anymore but now I beleive I am seeing some planaria (white micro worms) in my tank. I left my vac at my friends house so I skipped a vacuum last week. Still changed about 35% of my water.
