Today while cleaning the glass of my 150g piranha tank my wife noticed little worm like things. They seem to wiggle constantly and go were the current takes them. We are curious if anyone has any information about these nasty little buggers. I have a video here also.[YT][/YT]
 
a video would be nice but I think I have had the same "worm" like critters in one of my tanks before , I gave everything a good cleaning and did a water change and haven't seen them since.... not sure what they are but they was really gross lol .
The ones you are talking about are they white ish ?
 
I dealt with a couple worms like that once. I never noticed them again after a water change and a good dose of salt. They look like little white bloodworms and whip around insanely fast.

I almost puked when I saw one, thinking it was parasites. Maybe it is, I don't know, but I haven't seen them since.

A vid would help but also posting it in the right area of the forum too


I just like you guys the best, and its in my pirahna tank. Thought i would ask here first just in case another pirahna keeper had the same problem.
