What Is This?

[Esfa]

probably just some sort of bug *captain obvious*

your fish probably ate it already lol

If you think about it then it couldn't have been native to the water or it wouldn't have been in a box and still be alive...what could it have done to your tank?

What i dont get is, if it was a worm , how could it be alive? Dont they need water to survive? Could it ahve just been a string, and when the power head was turned on, flew out and wriggled like a worm from the current?

not all worms live in water... lol

It must have been a box worm. These worms are typically found in boxes. Must have just jumped up into the powerhead for a ride.

ya guys this thing was alive im postitive

 

[n3ont3tra]

Have you seen it since you first saw it?
To be honest I wouldn't worry.

 

[dusky]

A Maggot maybe?? If box had been in shop for while and if there is food in shop dropped while feeding fish then maggots will breed.

Wow, I really don't know, but it does sound like a nematode. I have lot's of them. Some species are parasites but you're not able to see them without a microscope. They do make good fish food.

Whatever it was, I'm sure one of your fish had a nice meal out of it.

why is it minor this sites for helping people and texas did not have a clue what it was!!!! If its trival or a emergency obviously he thought to him self,,,"I know who can advise me" that wonderful website tropical fish forums" so instead of having a pop at him just tell him its nothing to worry about mate or oh my god you need to do this that the other!!!!!or otherwise dont reply its not manditory


texas in my eyes dont worry just carry on as normal, 2nd where here for helping whether or not its trival

Woah it's no big deal I was just saying how some people would not approve of that title. I said it was a *relatively* minor issue.

The new title is perfectly adequate.
