drewzero1 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 The white worm on the lower right looks like a detritus worm, relatively harmless. Some of my fish like to snack on them. The slug-like thing on the upper left looks like a planarian, and I have heard planaria can be harmful to shrimp. Not sure about the bugs/mites. Is this above the water? I get a lot of gnats around my tanks sometimes. Also, what are we looking at, filter foam? (Just to get a sense of scale.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 They look like detritus worms. What is the tank setup and filtration? My little brother got them when his pump stopped working and he ignored the tank for a "while". https://www.aquariumsource.com/detritus-worms/ Please also go ahead and test ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate if you can.

AndEEss Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Looks like you have ostracods and detritus worms. AKA, fish food. If they bother you that much, reduce the amount you feed your fish a bit and they'll likely reduce in number. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
