Expectorating_Aubergine Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I'm loving all the critters that I find in the mulm. If you guys get a chance, check out your mulm with a hand lense- or better yet a microscope! There's a whole world in there.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizzyduff Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Oh dear God... it's this a detritus worm? I kind of wish I hadn't bought the magnifying glass or hand held microscope now 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 I have never seen one under a microscope however most of the fauna in our tanks are harmless and actually serve a purpose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
