Hey all, so relatively new to fish keeping.
Thought i was doing ok..
3mnths ago I broke my leg, and was unable to get downstairs etc, had the kids n old lady feeding/tending the fish.
I can finally get up n down the stairs, n hola... like 8mnths worth of food gone in like 2mnths...
Filters so clogged barely moving water.
So a day of cleaning, water changing, etc.
I know i have too thick of substrate. I just didn't know when i set it up.
Anyways, to the point, feeding n staring at my penguin tetras n blue dream shrimp last night, I discoverd some squiggly little wormy things, that after initial panick, then google-fooing, i think are detritus worms, which are apparently nothing to be wortied about, and are actually a good thing.
I need to clear out n redo this tank, but I'm probably moving next mnth or 2, n trying to hold off till then, so im only removing the critters n cleaning etc everything once.
Anyways, made a short vid of these wormy things.
Please advise!
