What is in my tabk (repost from FWGS)

[Bass2013]

(this is also on getting started i didn't know where to put it) Ok iv been cycling for a few weeks now. And everything is fine now. Ammonia at 4ppm (just recently got it there) and everything is fine. But now there are 2 of these worm things swimming around in my tank and idk what it is. It what to do.

I feel ask if I'm going have to start over and just dumb all 10 gallons out and start with fresh water... I wouldn't want to do that.


Here are the best pictures iv got

Yikes, wish I could help but I have never seen that before. Can you get them out and flush them? Creepy little worm!

Id just get them out then keep cycling until your finished then you need a big wc

They remind of detris leeches. Not the blood sucking kind! I've seen them before but can't put my finger on where. I agree, take them out and just watch for others. I found a single worm in a new set up once and that was it. Don't know where it came from or what it was but I just removed it, watched for weeks to be sure I didn't see any more, and that was it.

I've had mosquito larvae in my tanks before they are wormlike maybe look that up and see that's it.

I found out what they were. They are flat worms. They are harmless! Just more food for fish. They appeared from non eaten food
