Worms?????!!!!

[Ama]

Have you tested your water?

Yes

If I did not test my water...

1. ...I recognize that I will likely be asked to do a test, and that water tests are critical for solving freshwater health problems.

Do you do water changes?

Yes

If I do not change my water...

1. ...I recognize that I will likely be recommended to do a water change, and water changes are critical for preventing future freshwater health problems.

ok so yesterday I did an 80%+ water change and cleaned Steve's tank .... thia morning I went to feed him and there are these little white worm looking things... i have taken Steve out put him in a freshly cleaned tank no substrate nothing except bubbler and a new filter ..... added ich med or rid ich or whatever it's called to his new temporary home.

I believe Steve is the male flowerhorn.
Do they look like this:

Could just be detritus worms. Harmless.

Could just be detritus worms. Harmless.

That’s what I was thinking. They like to pop up after cleanings.
Could also be uneaten bloodworms. Happens in my puffer tank all the time.

Look like planaria a bit. Still harmless.
