Hi all, one of my tanks appears to have worms (tiny white/clear hair like worms) and tiny mite (smaller than a grain of sand) type beasts scooting about in the water and occasionally sitting on the glass!!
I do not have this in my other tank :-/
My affected tank is a 5G which has one dwarf puffer fish, moderately planted for size of tank and has many pond snails. I have sand substrate as well as a piece of wood in the tank.
It absolutely can't be from over feeding, he takes his blood worms directly from me and snacks on the occasional baby snail. There is never any left over food in tank and I have been doing 50% water changes (sometimes daily) for the past 2 weeks at least!! (had nitrite spike).
Any ideas? I have also recently noticed an oily film appear on surface of water, visible when the light is on?? Not sure if this is related. Many thanks for ANY input
