anybody know what this stuff is, it alwasy seems to come back even after constant water changes and cleanings. It doesnt seem to bother the fish and it just sticks to everything thats not moving,does it hurt my fish and also how do i get rid of it

and the waters actually clear but it does have some tannins
 
Jeez dude. I have absolutely NEVER saw anything like that, but i think it looks a lot like some kind of paracite. If thats the case, depending on what type of paracite it is, it could do some serious damage to your fishies. BUT, Im sure that there are paracites that dont harm fish, but plants. Is your tank planted, or do you just have the driftwood in there?
 
Planaria usually have triangular heads, so I don't that that's what you have.
But at the last Milwaukee Aquarium Society auction, planaria cultures were being sold as live food for fry, and small fish. One mans trash is another mans treasure.
 
freshwater tank and i have just driftwood no plants but even the smaller tank without driftwood just a baby cichlid has it,i dont think its planaria because it doesnt move at all
 
I've had these in my tank for awhile, i believe they are a harmless type of planaria. I've never lost a fish in my tank and never had any problems, just keep up the water changes and keep cleaning the glass
