hi,
in the past i have had white worms appear on the glass of my aquascapes roughly about 5/6 weeks in,
if i wipe the glass there will be more the next day , they do not look like planeria (dont have the characteristic head shape) they are small , and on one of my tanks there was some other or same type of worm floating around in the water being pushed around by the filter which where abit larger,
but again did not look like planeria, just white worms. it would start by spotting them in the substrate.
i have read they could be detritus worms. do detritus worms leave the substrate? climb the glass?
the tanks did not have fish in them.
how does someone get rid of these worms without harming the plants and mosses in the aquarium, i have read some stuff about pancur etc being used would these harm the plants and mosses etc.
where do they come from?
i used used the same plant supplier both times they appeared would this be the reason ?
is it just in plants they come from or can they come on hardscape also as i have some hardscape from the same supplier i want to use if so i will throw the hardscape out ,
if its just the plants then i will make sure to only plant with 1-2 grow plants.
thank you
