I was doing a water test for 6 tanks last nite, i have breeder tank 10 gals for guppies, i notice there is 5 - 6 small white stuff moving around
may be 3mm on the glass and there are maybe 2 -3 black dot thing just above the water line moving slowly too. how and where this come from. lol
i have a guppy in that tank for weeks look like it going to have babies very soon but no go. now i put that guppy into another 10 gals tank.
are those worm (i guess) come from that guppy ?
i put some medicine to kill the archor worm, doesn't look like it doing the job. of cause i an clean the whole tank but just want to try see that medicine will work or not.

The other 5 tanks is o.k
this is the first time i see worm in my tank...lol:confused:

Generally small white worms on the glass and at the edge of the gravel are fine. They are nemotodes or another type I can't remember. They show up when there is excess food for them. They are generally always there but just hidden and come out when their numbers grow. If you have a gravel vacuum just make sure to use it once a week and it will lower their numbers down to where you won't see them.
