Hi all! This is a new 10 gallon shrimp tank with 9 brand new shrimp in it. It has been up and running for maybe 2 weeks now. The other day I noticed a ton of these worms all over the glass. Now, my first fear was planeria, but I didnt want to overreact and start treating something without actually seeing if it was a problem. I thought MAYBE detritus worms, but they are wriggling in the water like I've seen them do. All the plants are CO-OP and the shrimp are flip aquatics. I have done no quarantine or meds because I genuinely forget. Shrimp came a day earlier than expected, spent time acclimating, had a covid issue come up... messy weekend. But it's a brand new tank, so I wasnt concerned. So I'm trying to ID these. But I can not for the life of me get a good photo with my camera. Attached are the best I could do tonight. Can I get some guidance as far as: ID, monitoring moving forward, and treatment of necessary? I'm new to keeping shrimp, and just dont want to have potential harm to the fry. Appreciate all the help! -
Hi. I'm wanting to try some Enchytraeus albidus (white worms) but am not sure where to get safe started cultures. Is there anything to be aware of when starting? I.e., any risks to cultivating these or signs of risks?
