Silvia-15 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 umm, my tank has thousands and thousands of tiny white worms, they are about 5mm in length and 1/2mm thick. huge numbers float in the water after each water change till only a small porportion is left crawling on the tank sides. what are these and how do i get rid of them, so far they havnt done anything to the fish but they just dont look nice. and i cant take a pic because they are too tiny for my crappy camera. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 They sound like planaria (flat worms) caused by overfeeding. Feed less, clean the gravel and they should thin out. They are harmless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caper Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Will the fish eat them as well alan? Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 They will, but probably not while they are being overfed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
