yesterday after my tank cycle i was looking around the tank and spotted 2 super tiny creatures wiggling along the glass on the front of the tank. They were white and moved like maggots/caterpillars and were about 2-3 mm long and move quite quick.
what are they
what should i do
i have 2 convicts and a gold nugget plecco, no known snails and no new plants......
I think they're planaria or flat worms. I had some in one of my tanks for a while - but small fish usually eat them. They're living on uneaten food in the substrate - so might be an idea to up the gravel vaccing. Otherwise I don't think you need worry
They probably are planaria. They are harmless, apparently tasty (to fish) and I think they are also very cute: http/evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/i...vo/planaria.jpg
They have somewhat comical faces don't you think? And an interesting little fact - the first animals with brains were flatworms - so, in a sense, planaria are quite intelligent
