Last night I was watching my fish, and I noticed all these little tiny, almost microscopic white worms all along the waterline inside the tank. They looked like some type of little parasitic worms, to my disgust.
I’ve never noticed them before, and I’m always inspecting the damn tank.
Only time I’ve seen such a thing was when I had a live plant in a betta bowl.
No live plants are in the tank.
Anyone know what this is, if they’re bad, and how I get rid of them?
Any help is greatly appreciated-before all my fish die.
sea monkeys, soon they’ll begin constructing primitive huts along the bottom. Eventually they will evolve to a more advanced civilization than even humans, develop a technology to overthrow all of WNY. DESTROY THEM NOW!!
is it saltwater? bristleworms maybe… i always try to avoid medicine unless it’s a last resort. maybe there’s some sort of shrimp, crab, or lobster that will take care of them. maybe they’re not a bad thing.
Nematodes. I had them in my Oscar tank once. Luckily my fiance’s father was the head of the Biology department at JCC and had a Masters in Marine Biology. That’s what he said they were. You’re not going to be able to kill them by adding stuff to the water. You’ve got to do a full water change. Also, you have to either replace everything in the tank or boil all the decorations and stuff, and bake the gravel.
