Caesar777 Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Heh... That doesn't help, hon. You need a VERY DETAILED description. Size? Are they free-swimming, or do they crawl on the glass and/or rocks? Or do they prefer to hide in the rocks? What sort of shape do they have? How quickly do they move, and how do they move? Do they crawl slowly? Scoot about like an inchworm? Slither like a snake? There are a LOT of things it could be. Sorry! Link to comment

Cetra324 Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Sounds like Angolian Fever Death Slugs. They're harmless now, but once they reach adulthood (about three inches) they'll grow small sacks in their bodies to store oxygen, allowing them to leave the water of your aquarium and crawl around your house at night. If they come into contact with a warm blooded animal, they'll burrow into the blood stream, lay 10 million eggs, and scurry back to the tank to laugh about it with their buddies over fetid slug-lattes in the slug-cafe.

These guys are very patriotic. Sooner sing the Angolian national anthem than eat a human alive. Well, gurgle the national anthem. They try their best. Link to comment

Caesar777 Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Give a darn description! Do they look like a worm? Are they smooth, or covered with bristles? Are they squishy or hard (suggesting a tough carapace or tube)? INFO! Link to comment
