YeW Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Hi -These are harmless worms from the phylum Platyhelminthes (more than you need to know!).. they are the free living (as opposed to the parasitic) kind - mainly what what aquarium folk (but not scientists) call "Planaria" - don't think this is a scientific name anymore.Anyway - generally they are the result of overfeeding and can be controlled by water changes - food reduction etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
