Maybe it can be water flea..u can google water flea and compare to thse white creatures in your tank..if it is, adding fishes into ur tank and ur fishes will love u instantly

yes, this is the best i can do. (picture is the white little creatures.)

i suddenly noticed another flat worm, look like leech like that, but i know it's not.

tried to snap a picture of it, but i don't think i can.

Yes you are probably facing planaria...ur tank is newly set-up?? did u rinse ur gravels b4 putting inside and not to mention cycle ur tank to lower down ur amonia since it thrive in high ammonia environment...

probably u can try the methods here http://www.aquarticles.com/articles/...ria_Worms.html

tank has been there for close to 3-4 months already.

i think what i have is planaria and water fleas. it's a shrimp tank by the way.

i threw in a guppy yesternight and this morning i woke up to find that the little white spot creatures are gone, and of course remove the guppy.

i'll go check out the planaria tonight though.
