Christofer Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Hello again, I asked about some critters I took photos and videos of the other day. I got very useful help (thank you so much). Well I bought a microscope and took some more video because while I’m not concerned about the copepods we found, I have also discovered some type of worm. I’ve tried doing some research… I do not think it’s a detritus worm because it hangs out on the glass. I’m obviously most anxious about it being planaria. Based on this video I took my hypothesis is: Rhabdocoela worms but I’d like to rule out planaria because I’m paranoid about my future shrimps. Thank you for taking the time to read and view, it means a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit- My experience is that Planaria move in a very serpentine fashion- lots of quick "S" type back and forth movement and they tend to "float" over substrate and decor. Rhabdo tend to more in straight lines and adhere to surfaces. Edited July 28, 2021 by NanoNano 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
