Worms...HELP

jollopee · 02-15-2006, 10:35 PM

Ok I was just sitting stareing at my tank and I noticed some small dark brown or blackish colored things, I stared at them a bit and noticed they were moveing then I looked really close and noticed they are EVERYWHERE. I mean there must be thousands of them all over my tank,in the sand ,on the sand,on the glass, I mean at first I thought it was just debris from the water change and dumping water in the tank but these things are definitely moveing they look almost like a dark eyelash and are about the same size too. Better not be bad

Try a search on them here, I am sure you can come up with a few good results, and some pics to help you identify the little guys.
