Haizel Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hi, Last night spotted quite a large number of small white worms swimming freely in tank and attacching themselves to the tank sides. Saw fish trying to eat them and then spit them out. About 2-4mm long. Should I be worried. On Sunday bought 10 new fish from Animates, wonder if they came in the water used to transfer them? Fish look ok, worms were not on the fish? Any guidance appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitzy Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Planaria? Planaria are often found in aquariums with uneaten food. You should not use the water from the petshops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumzy50 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 They are harmless, but it is a sign of over feeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
