When I had to empty my last tank, a few year ago, for repairs, I discovered a worm over a meter long and about as thick as my thumb. I suspect it had been the reason I kept loosing small fish. I wish I had at least taken a picture but I was so stunned to find it that my first reaction was to flush it.
Still, when I moved to the new tank, last year, all worms I found in the old one were transfered as well. Luckily no more giants were found.
