Hey Everyone,

I recently took a look at my brother's tank. I notice at the bottom left corner thier seemed to be little green wormlike things crawling up and around the glass. The fish seem fine which are two oscars, parrot cichlid and a pleco. All of these fish are around 5-6 inches. The tank is a 55 gallon corner tank powered by a fluval fx5. And quite honestly I think the FX5 sucks compared to my sump on my 72 gallon tank.

So back to what I was saying...those worm like things any ideas? When I did saltwater they were known as copepods which are beneficial however in the freshwater world I think not. IMG_1354.jpg

Planaria. Harmless.

Only show that there is too much organic matter in the tank due to excessive feding and low on water changes.
 
Ok thanks very much, will most likely tell him to give away or sell the big plecos in the tank....think those are the major problem.
