I have 3 x 5 gallon betta tanks, unfiltered with heat. The tanks are all about 6 weeks old, so newly cycled. All 3 fish seem happy and healthy (though I may be guilty of overfeeding)
My problem is that I have a lot of almost microscopic things swimming around my tanks. I believe they are nematodes or planaria, but they are not long worms and I do not see them clinging to the sides of my tank like some of the info online suggests.
I did a major water change on one tank last night and did find 3 or 4 longer worm looking things, but when I inspected them with a magnifying glass I did not see any eyes or anything. It really just looked like pieces of string.
My question is...are they still likely to be small/young nematodes or planaria?? Or could I be looking at something more insidious??
