Hi, Many of you might know some might not, They are NOT harmfull
I have been for a few hours going Crazy. (done some research)
White haze on the Aquarium Fish tank, Looks like Loads of little hairs on the fish tanks glass,
If you look at them with the filter running, (power filter) you will notice they move, And can be easily removed Using a magnet or a scrapper, then they will float around and attach again further to something else,
the common cause is over feeding (learned my lesson) and to much Nitrate
http
/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planaria and link about the Horrible critter.
cut back on feeding,
Clean the gravel,
and clean the water 10% twice a week for three weeks.
From what I have read also they can cause Potential problems with Filters And possibly fish gills (irritation)
when they are removed from the glass and equipment (remove equipment and clean)
If you doing a water change using siphon that would possibly be the best time to clean them from the glass,
This is information I have read from various places, anyone have any advice to contribute please do, If there is already a Thread on this I'm sorry and guilty of not Searching, If this is all wrong then shoot other people, Hope this helps.
This is a Picture of Planaria
The pictures not the best and those marks (little white parts) are not Grainy picture that is Planaria, Now standard its not as Bright as that, I have to use my Flash up close to capture them, they Denser and not as noticeable as the picture makes out best viewed at an angle when looking at the tank with the light on,
