cr0wley Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 At first I thought that a fan had blown some animal hair in, upon closer inspection they wiggle around here and there. I THINK that they're detritus worms, could anyone confirm/give advice on dealing with them? I know they're not harmful, I believe that they popped up because of moving some planted substrate over from an established tank to this newer one.

TheSwissAquarist Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Look quite like Tubifex, but are probably detritus. Were you stirring the gravel up before you took that clip? Have you got any fish in that tank to eat them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastie Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) Mine are a bit thinner and I do not have such a strong flow, so they wiggle bit more, but could be detritus, easy. As long as it doesnt have a triangle head, you are ok. BTW if mine get this high in the tank, my fish start sucking on them and the worm very very very quickly try to get away 😄 Edited October 10, 2023 by beastie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
