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! blink.gif

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 biggrin.gif

Whew, Thanks Jen. I was so freaked out when I saw them. yikes.gif

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. smile.gif

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 biggrin.gif just a thought smile.gif
