gussy Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 My tank glass is full of little white rice looking like things...except they are much, much smaller than rice. I know they are alive as I can see some of the move...really fast. I guess they are about the size of a dandruff or sand? What are they and what do I do about them? Link to comment
jenniebutterfly Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 sounds like pods, do nothing, they will be food for fish, and they eat detrious and stuff jennifer Link to comment
gussy Posted February 10, 2005 Author Share Posted February 10, 2005 I used to have them in freshwater, but they told me its Planaria. They scurry all over the glass. There is so many of them that it looks like snow on a windshield or dandraff on a black sink! Link to comment
yoshiod9 Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 flatworms. you can choose to leave them or kill them with flatworm exit(about 20-25bucks at your lfs). they don't technically harm anything...but they are toxic. Link to comment
gussy Posted February 10, 2005 Author Share Posted February 10, 2005 I don't think they are flatworms as they are too small and move too fast...like ants. Link to comment
yoshiod9 Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Originally posted by gussy I used to have them in freshwater, but they told me its Planaria. i thought that you were concurring with whomever gave you the information. planaria are a type of flatworm so i assumed that you knew what they were. sorry! with the info you gave now(fast moving) i will have to agree with jennie and say that they're probably just regular old copepods or amphipods. not harmful to your tank in any way.=) Link to comment
