    This morning, saw quite a number of white color worms 5mm floating around the edge of the tank. Looks like tubifex worms, but i know they are not.

    Before they can do any harm, anyone has ideas what they are.? Anchor worms ? Don't think they are planaria.

    white worms are harmless, they usually get eaten by my boraras.

    Hmm, I'm not really sure. But i noticed that when they munched on the micro pellets, lots of smaller pieces fell to the substrate. Maybe that's the cause .

    hey bro...i am having the same situation too. initially i thought it was planaria, but the description given for planaria doesn't seem to match that of the worms in my 1 ft tank. it happened when i overdosed my tank with Seachem Excel. in 2 minutes my tank was 'cloudy'. initially thought it was caused by the endlers in my tank. after a close watch, i saw the white thing actually wriggles... and they somewhat crawled out after my Excel dosing. the rainbar actually caused the worms to 'fly' in the water. was hoping that my Eden501 could suck majority of it. the endlers doesn't seems to be intrested in the worms. have no idea how to get rid of the worms. the endlers are just 3 days in the tank. what could have caused it? any ideas from anyone in this forum?
