    Hi all,

    I recently discovered a worm-like creature in my tank, and after a few weeks i found that many more are now crawling all over the glass of my tank. I read up online and found they could be planaria and not harmful to my tank inhabitants (mostly shrimps). Some people mentioned that mollies might eat them so I transferred mollies from my other tank over. The problem does not seem to go anyway. Anyone have suggestions as to what I can do to solve this?

    Cheers!

    You might want to cut down on your feeding. Reason being that left over food may cause these "worms" to populate. According to my experience, these worms normally stay below soil and unless the soil is constantly disturb, it should not crawl all over the tank. Give mollies some time for them to eat the worms. Try not to feed your mollies.
