Mariac007 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Hello all, i am so excited to be starting my new and first planted tank for my angel fish! I ordered an Amazon sword for my tank, and I am so happy with the condition of the plant. However, I placed it in a tub and I have found several small worm looking things. Are they harmful? How do I get rid of them? Please help!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandy Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 They could be anything mosquito larvae, detritus worms, planaria, leeches. We can't tell you without a pic. However they are likely all delicious for the angelfish. 😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandy Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 You can. But really, even leeches are a snack--they just gross me out sometimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
