Ummmmm...I know it's not exactly a scientific term, but, I was moving a few things around in my aquarium this morning and upset things a bit in doing so. I spotted 5 thin 'wriggly thingies' swimming around amongst the debris after doing so. I have no idea what they were...only that they were really thin, about half a centimetre to a centimetre long and used their whole 'body' to move.

Am I seeing things...because I haven't had any type of substances in my body for at least 5 months now... :blink:

Are they opaque to whiteish?
If so they are planitia and its a sign of healthy water
nothing to worry about the fish will soon eat them

Yes...opaque to whitish.

I was just kinda wondering if I had fully woken up yet...but, my wife saw them too.
 
Ive had those before too, I was told they were from overfeeding. They went away though :)
