hi everybody!
we thought we were doing ok...
today when B cleaned all the tanks, he noticed these white threads
wiggling 8O along in the water of the 55 & 30.
we vac/water-x 50% the 30 weekly, with amid-week poo-grab.
2 - 2.5" angels and 1 3" panaque.
silk plants, wood, pebbles, bare-bottom
we vac/water-x 50% the 55 and 15 every 2.
2 - palm-sized xlong fin breeding angels, two 5" plecos, 3cories, 1mollie.
swordplants, wood, rocks. gravel.
both eheim filters are cleaned monthly.
both: 80F, ph 6.8, all readings 0.
fed: flakes, dried bloodworms, shrimp pellets, algae wafers, dried tubifex.
occasionally, froz bloodworms, very occais live brine shrimp.
the wigglers were spotted b4 the filters were cleaned.
can this have anything to do with the green ferny stuff we get in the lines?
or did the tubifex worms somehow survive the freezdry and hatch?
none of the fish seem sick, but we had just finished a complete med cycle of maracyn for finrot and fungus, and melafix for wounds. (all mating and fighting related- who knew angelfish were so violent?)
or can this have come thru the water mains in nyc water? this was the suggestion of the lfs...it seems rather farfetched.
help!
is this bad - or food for fish?
thanks !
