| Ok, so I was looking at some guppy babies today after feeding them some crunched up freeze dried brine shrimp when something caught my eye. It was a teeny like 1/3 inch and smalled tiny wormy things crawling on the rocks and glass. I also have pond snails and ramshorn snails. Any clue? They were clearish colored. I'm going to do a water change tomorrow. I'm freaking out... the tanks has guppies, live plants and 2 emerald cories. I did have otos but they died...the last one recently. If I can find these things again I will try to take a pic! | |

| Probably Planeria , Usually from uneaten food in the gravel. A good gravel vac and lighten up on feeding. They will not harm your fish. |

| Ok. I think my problem is crunching up the food for the fry and adults. I'll try less food | |

| I've seen the same thing. I heard they can come in on live plants as well. I read that if you starve the tanks for 4-5 days they will disappear. Tough to do when your fish have to eat. | |
