Tank Help

[Dr.B]

So I was just observing my poly tank as usual on a saturday and i noticed these little clear/white worm like things crawling on the glass. I don't know what they are. I think maybe they came in when i got some plants from the Lfs. I really don't want these worm things to harm my polys and i want to know how to get them out. Thanks for the help Dr.B

pics? they were probablily from the new plants.

 

[Dr.B]

i'll try and get some pics as soon as possible. They are staying toward the top of the tank near the waterline. They swim in a spiral type motion and are like .25 to .5 inches long.

i've been searching the web and it looks like nematodes

i had the same problem in my 20g... best thing to do is to ump the temperature and add salt.

 

[Dr.B]

yeah now that i look i have 'em in both my 75 and my 20 what do i up it to? and how much salt do i add?

are they actually swimming or just crawling around on the glass? could it be planaria?

x2 Possibly planaria

If its planaria you are overfeeding.

i doubt it is, especially if it's clear/white. to the OG post, again bump the temperature, and add salt equal to what the description says per gallon(s).

also, if you have access to it, get prazi-pro. that really helps! haha
