Worms floating in tank?
Hello! Yesterday after our 30 gallon tank was clearing from a cleaning (debris was floating around that was stirred up from the bottom)… I noticed 2 very small white/clear worms that were being taken for a ride on the current. The only way I was able to distinguish them from feces or a plant root was that they were writhing – otherwise it was indistinguishable and too small to think it was something living. They were not swimming, and had no control of their movement other than their contraction and expansion of trying to find a place to anchor on to. Should we be worried that this worm may be a fish parasite? Our tank is only 3 months old and the worms could of come in via the fish or the plants. Our fish are for the most part healthy. We did have 2 deaths within the past month – one was a royal Farlowella cat and the other was a long fin rosy barb. I don’t think the deaths were related – the Farlowella could of possibly been sensitive to our water conditions as he
