tiny worms in tank

[jsodwi]

I was just looking at the fish and I noticed alot of microscopic particles floating around. As I looked closer they seem to be very tiny worms or something. They are very small they almost look tike strands of fiberglass insulation or something. What the hell is going on and how do I get rid of them

Its a sign of high nitrates,among other things toxic.Do an immediate 20% water change,then in like two hours repeat this.As it seems your water changes are few do not change to much water at once unless your fish are really hardy/tough/common.
Gravel Vaccum too.

planaria, just clean all substrate well

OK I'll give it a shot. Nitrates and ammonia levels clear fish are healthy. I do water changes every 7 days consistantly but I'll do it more often I guess til it clears up

If they are flattened ishape I would say planeria, if round in cross section then probably microworms

What about putting some coppersafe in the water. It actually looks like my Aro has a couple dark brown circular wounds on his body now. I'm gonna do a water change and throw some Mela & Pimafix in the tank. MAybe some aquarium salt as well

Yeah,go with those before you copper stuff up.I know WC's are a pain in the butt,but search this site for faster methods,as many are needed.I do 10% a day,then every few weeks i do like 40%

Round reddened wounds are usually leeches.

OK how to get rid of them? The small worms I saw seem to have disappeared but the Aro seem to have a couple fore sores on his body.

Aro looks a lot better Doin water change every 3 days but small worms still on glass. They are very small and lok like they are white??
