Worms

[Rich]

Can anobody advise how to deal with worms ? Some fat, some
thin. If salt is used, will plant die ? Any medicine to
recommend ? If change water, worms still there right ?
Need advice from anyone of you. Thanks

Are those worms " white ! " if they are ! well ! sounds like the result of overfeeding. Just stop feeding for 3 to 4 days, do partial water change and minimum salt treatment should get rid of them, cheers !

AKoh,

Just to check with you. If those are nematoes, by feeding them less should remove them, do they hide back to the gravel or did they actually die off?

How do overfeeding leads to these creatures? Where do they come from?
If we have a fish only tank without gravel, will we have these worms too if we overfeed the fish?

Just curious...
