so i was cleaning my tank today (freshwater planted), and i noticed these tiny red worm lookin things in the sand... they were threadlike, i tried getting a picture, but the focus isnt the best. any idea what they are?
strange worm
- Thread starter RowingMunkeyCU
- Start date
im only feeding flakes, so it shouldnt be that...
but for fish in the tank i have:
1 x common pleco
1 x red-tailed black shark
1 x betta splendens
3 x black khuli loaches
4 x red rasboras
2 ghost shrimp
a bunch of MTSs
for plants:
a whole bunch of anachris
a few cabomba
a few water wisteria
a water sprite
two ruffle swords
a melon sword
They appear to be tubifex worms, they sometimes come in with plants, a cory or even a coolie loach should root them right out. They are harmless.
awesome, thanks, i was really hoping i wasnt going to have to try and find something to kill them off...
