EVoyager31 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I have A LOT of these white, tiny, moving worm like guys on the back glass of my tank. I was thinking they might be detritus worms but I’m not sure. Any ideas? Also: How to get rid of them? Tank is a 75G, C02 injected, heavily planted tank (with Easy green) and currently only has a plethora of mystery snails (and pest snails) and a few Kuhli loaches. Water parameters are as follows: ph 6.8, Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0 and Nitrates around 20ppm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) Those look like rhabdocoela. Completely harmless fish will snack on them if you decide to add more than the Kuhli Cutting back on feeding and vacuuming substrate thoroughly controls most microfauna populations. They are not harmful but a good indicator. To many microfauna usually indicates excess detritus. Hope that help.
