worms in the tank with my beta
I just bought a beta fish the other day. I have him seperated in a tank of his own away from my other fish. Today I go to feed him and I see hundreds of little white "worm" looking things. THey are so small that i mistook them for maybe small bits of hair. I looked closer and they are stuck to the glass MOVING. They look like worms. Has anyone ever seen this? What do I do?
Answers:They are just planaria and totally harmless to your fish. They are however a sign of overfeeding, so are the high nitrate levels. Vacuum the gravel and cut back on food. The planaria will go away and so will the high nitrates. To get things back in a healthier condition, replace 25% of the water twice a week for the next 3 weeks or so and vacuum the gravel every two or three weeks.
Once everything is better, just do a 25% water change every week and vacuum every 2 to 4 weeks after that.
you need a water tonic, and a medication just in case the fish have caught something from them. act quickly girl.
