Going Crazy

[ShoC]

I have 3 problems

1, I have some worms, they are not Planaria or Hydra I have about 20 of them I would say, Very long and thin, As they move they have like a red bit that flows through their body, Similar to how a worm in the garden moves and that darker section moves down their body (if that makes sense),
anyone have any idea what these are, I saw my Danio eat one flowing in the water,
when its flowing it wriggles like mad,


2. I have these like minuscule Bugs living on my glass and they almost seem as thought they jump when something goes close to them, to another part of the glass.
like how a flea jumps. (been trying to find what these are) <--- So I have been reading up Loads trying to figure this out and my question is,
My tetra has a lump near its gill , looked like the fish would die but the cyst popped and healed up,
could this have been ich, are these small Bugs Ich? cant ich be seen before they attach to a fish

3. I have snails I'm keeping it under control no problem but I tend to crush them as they are only very small.
But some how I have managed to incur a Scratch on my glass I think its from the inside. is it possibly the cause of me crushing them?

this thing is BANG in the middle and makes me want to buy a new tank.
it's not VERY visible but I know its there now


thanks for any answers.
p.s the bugs are most annoying especially the worms,

My tank is VERY clean I change water every week all ways dechlorinated and my nitrates are 10ppm

I cant help much i'm afraid but I think on behalf of almost everyone I can say "EEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!"

Crushing the snails doesnt really help unless you have fish that will eat them afterwards. Depending on how you have the tank set out and how big it is how about just turning it around so the scrtach is at the back?

For Snails if you have space a group of small loaches will sort them out. Some loaches are better then others at this I know yoyo's and clowns can completely clear a tank of snails, when I have kept khulie loaches though they didnt seem as interested. Either that or do the old lettuce leaf in the tank overnight trick. It wont get them all but will thin the numbers. I actually dont mind having snails in the tank they help clean things up

Edit: As far as I know Ich just arent that big. i have had fish with bad Ich before but never remeber seeing anything like that.

its Crazy they are fast, they would almost think they are on the outside of the tank,
because they run along the glass really quick and jump at such a speed, it seems like it just is not possible to do in water but they DO,
and I cant find anything to identify them,
also the same with the worms,
I'm going to tear the tank down soon any how,

as for turning the tank,
you made me smile
stupidly I never though about that haha


EDIT: Update. I think I have found out what they are,
the worms I believe are nematodes and the bugs are copepods
Hope this helps anyone else with problems.
