Worms!!!!!

EVERYONE pls watch your tanks. Maramalade had WHAT I THOUGHT was a clean tank, as you know he died within a day. I have now dicovered LOADS of brown worms come out at night!!!!I was too sad to just empty his tank and NOW glad i didn't! I NEVER saw these before but they must have been there even though i cleaned it twice a week!!! Far too many to be a new thing!!!!

I will research them, just wanted to say be aware of things we don't see and if you don't have sets of tools for each tank clean them well between tanks, who knows what germs/life they carry from one tank to the next!!!!

How big were the worms? Do you think he had internal worms or are you saying there were worms in the gravel?

Normal planari i am used to but these are thicker/darker, many of you know i'm back living with my old folks so i called them in, Dad said some have wings!!! and they do!!!

I have taken everything out to BOIL!!!!!?BIN apart from some water so hopefully it will help us learn and Marmalade won't have died for nothing!!!!

I will study and hopefully get pics/vids etc to try and help!!.
