Ahhh Whats In My Tank

[afishdude]

i have a 5g tank in the basement i use for a snail tank. it has some java moss, and varius plants. well i just went down to check on my betta fry and glared into the tank and saw this. it was like a little fish worm thing. i can see its eyes, and its got a snake like body. it just wiggles and shoots all around the tank like its retarted. theres no way it can be a fish. it almost looks matalic, its like shiny metal looking. its the only one in there. about a week ago i gave the tank a little shot of brineshrimp to see if the snails would eat it, could it have came from this?. theres no way i can get a pict of it. but its defanitly atracted to light, it swimms to the top when i turn on the light. o yea and its only like a centimeter long.

any ideas?

Would be easier to ID if you can get a picture

it swam like a sea horse if that helps any. it was grey with a matalic look. and had huge eyes.

Sounds like a Planaria to me...

They come in all colours but usually grey/brown....if there is only one I would not worry about it...just remove the little guy...
Planaria are generally harmless except to eggs and possibly newly hatched fry

Good news is Betta's like to eat them

no, the eyes were like 10 times bigger than that. and it swam like a sea horse other than a flatworm
