Thin White Worm

[izzat]

Hi...

recently i ask a forumer to buy for me moss form a fish farm...
after settling the moss in the tank, a few days later i saw this white type of worms on the side of the glasses...
although i hav encountered tis problem b4 wif the white worm, i cannot be using the same medication as it will harm the moss and plants...

i think tat tis white worm comes from the plants tat i bought...
if u hav a planted tank, u will most likely c this white thin worm at the side of the tank...
try and take a look at ur tank and u will know wat i mean...
and it's not onli 1 but countless of them inside...

so can any1 suggest how i can get rid of them without harming my moss and my 100+ shrimps...

I had them when I first started with plants. Every morning my cardinals will feed on them off the glass.

They are like tiny rice-like worms right? I think they are called infusoria, harmless beings, leave them alone and your fishes will quickly finish them up.

if u take a close look the worm does it stretch out something long to reach for something. when grap on the a glass the long head or hand will pull the body very fast rite?

frankly, I find your post extremely difficult to read, with all the SMS language and all. maybe I'm out of sync with the new generation. If only you could type in proper English, probably more people would have less difficulty in reading it and you'd probably get more responses.

Let's put it this way. You save a few micro-seconds when you shorthand your message by typing "u c" instead of "you see". The few micro-seconds you saved is translated instead to wasted time by other forumers trying to fathom what you're trying to say. Repeat this exercise by every post you make. Imagine my headache .

I suspect this ranting of mine will be in vain afterall. Maybe SMS will take over the world one day. I will have to invest in a new keyboard then, those which only requires a thumb to type in...
