Tonight I was cleaning out my QT tank to change the gravel and all these tiny white worms were all over the glass and swimming in the water!
Any idea what they could be?

Hi Erin, it's most likely planaria which are often found in aquariums with uneaten food. They don't hurt fish, but can be a symptom of gravel that needs a good clean

Whew, Thanks Jen. I was so freaked out when I saw them.
I was taking out the gravel and thats when I saw them. Nasty. Ill have to clean better in that tank apparently. The new gravel will make that a lot easier for me.

Hey Erin
Why don't you try these stones out ?
I switched to these because i found that the gravel was harder to maintein then river stones and plus they have lots to choose from and they are only 1$ for a bag just a thought

Hmm thanks OB. I have them in my 55 gallon, just scattered around like you have there. Thanks for the idea!
