Newo Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I have seen these before in a mates tank. They are not harmful to the fish. I am not sure how to get rid of them, but I know they wont hurt your fish so don't do anything stupid.

Cannula Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I agree with Newo the worms are harmless if they are the ones I'm thinking of. As for removing them, the best way is to feed less as they only occur when there is excess food in an aquarium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
az1 Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Apart from feeding less you can also put some bristlenose in the tank and in a day or 2 the worms will be all gone and then the bn will take care of any of that overfeeding you are doing.
