Ryan1988 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 So I was doing my normal gravel vacuum maintenance today and noticed half inch white wiggling things moving in the water. What are they and are they bad? If bad, how do i remove them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Likely they are detritus worms. Please attach photos if you can. Are you seeing them on the glass or on the substrate? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
