Tiny moving worms

[Lil g]

What is this stuff, it keeps reappearing on my tank glass.. It was gone for awhile after I did a medication treatment in my tank a few weeks ago and now it's back.. I looked up and heard of detritus worms but this is way smaller...

Planaria? You seem to have an infestation though, without knowing any details I would say you probably feed too much.

maybe but I do a water change in my tank everyday... At least one bucket I change out

 

[Lil g]

Ya that's also only one small section of my glass... It's like that across the entire top of the tank all across

 

[ehh]

When's the last time you cleaned the filter? Or gravel vacced?

 

[Lil g]

Yesterday.. I just added a brand new filter on my tank about a week ago.. Also I have Sand as substrate so I really only go over the top of it... Like I said I do that Bout once a day and my main filter that has been on my tank I do maintaince on it about once a month

How big is the tank in question?

A 5 gallon bucket water change for a 20gal tank is adequate, but a 5 gallon bucket water change on a 75 is insignificant.

 

[Lil g]

Its a 29g, also a I do a 25% water change once a week

Definitely appears to be planaria. They are harmless to your fish but an indicator your tank needs better filtration/water changes

 

[Lil g]

I thought that detritus was harmless to fish not planaria and also that planaria had nothing to do with your tank
