31LJ95 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 When turned tank lights on found little white worms and thought they were parasites but remembered I first had detrittus worms when i set up the tank but they have now gone (wasn’t bothered by them just went naturally). I don’t think they are parasites because my bristlenose don’t look skinny. The female did but that was because she had just spawned and the next day put on some belly fat from eating vegetables. They look very small but white and crawl along the glass. There’s quite a few. One of my bristlenose fry just went over them so don’t know if that makes a difference.

darkG Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 My guess: One of several possible kinds of benevolent "turbellaria" flatworms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes if you feed the tank less they will disappear on their own or your fish will make a snack out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31LJ95 Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 Ok thanks for the help. If they pose no harms to my fish then I’m ok with them just don’t want them being harmful to my fish. I’ve googled around a bit and think they aren’t harmful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
