morfin Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Hi. I have a container of old aquarium water outside that I use for the garden. Checked it this morning and it has a whole lot of little animals in it. They look like little screws, long bodies with a wee head, and the kind of curl their body to move through the water. Any idea? Is this something u can feed the fish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
