don't think you can "see" an ich, the white spots on fishes are just their cyst.
there was a White , free swimming "thing" , it looked like a very miniature tadpole , it was swimming downwards , then it entered the gravel and disappeared [:0] It aint possible to be a mosquitoe larvae due to that the water surface was rather turbulent . Neither could it be tadpole cos there aint no frogs anywhere
Could this be the Much Feared Ick ?!
[:0] [:0]
If it is ick or a parasite , how would i kill it ?
-Salt ? (but effectiveness not guaranteed ?)
-Copper Safe ? (good for parasite , but also good at killing other inhabitants
[:0] ?)
-Bomb PP/Hydrogen peroxide ?! (Extreme A.K.A. Nuclear wipeout)
-Throw a Airstone in ? ( i certainly hope it aint free swimming algae [] )

why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

hmm..... in that case , any one has any ideas on what it might be ?
-white
-rather small
-free swimming
afaik , planaria doesnt swim freely , it depends more on surfaces to crawl along
would some Salt for a couple of days be a good precautionary measure ?
its probably some nematode
Do you keep shrimps? Might be baby shrimps.
Likely to be nematodes. I had plenty when I started a new tank, before adding any fish. Plants I had then were from streams in Thailand.
