    Cycling my tank and I only have snails in the tank that eat algae. Today I notice very tiny worms/mosquito larva at the bottom of my substrate. I'm using shrimp substrate anyone can tell me what are they or how to get rid

    You can buy a guppy and put inside the tank.

    What color worm... White?
    If wrigglers add some fish like seudzar proposed.


    Btw, I edited the thread title as it had sms lingo.

    I also had those white tiny worms using shrimp substrate for the first few weeks to months, they will eventually die or get eaten by fishes so don't worry

    While mine isn't exactly worms, they look like mini critters that are probably in the plankton family. Seems harmless.
