Detritus Worm? Planarian?? Nematode???


Recommended Posts

Was looking at my aquarium tank out of a bit of boredom, and found this little guy wriggling around the tank. Anyone know what it is? I know there’s a few commonly found small white worms in aquariums, but I couldn’t find exactly which one it was. If it helps, it moved a lot like a worm.

Also, ignore the algae infestation on the glass, trying to get that worked out!

Probably a detritus worm. I wouldn't worry about it. There's tons of little creatures that will live and grow in a fish tank. The vast vast majority of which don't cause any problems and are actually beneficial for breaking down waste
