snapperhead Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I bought some azolla and duckweed that I have been waiting to get my hands on for some time. I intend to use them in my tropical and goldfish tanks as shelter for fry etc.. I placed them into buckets and noticed slug and worm looking things clinging on to the side of the bag that they came in. Would anything from a pond be harmful to fish? Will try and get some photos on tonight or tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Duckweed won't last long in your goldfish tank .. the goldies will eat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supasi Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Could be Leeches. Be warned that once you add to the tank it can be hardwork to remove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
