I have a tank that is exclusively for mollies, except for 2 striped talking
cat fish.

The fish all seem well and healthy but I've noticed these little wrigglies
in the tank.

It's impossible to take a photo as they are only a maximum of 2mm long so
I've done my best to do a drawing. their colour is white and they seem to
stick mainly to the glass or rocks, they're not really free swimming. They
look a little like octopus or squid but have lots of long thin hair like
"strings" for want of a better word at their back end. (At least I assume
it's their back end).

The fish don't seem remotely interested in them,, either as food or
anything else.

The fish are mainly fed on flake and frozen but once a week or so they get
live bloodworm, occasionally brine shrimp and very very occasionally
daphnia.

Can anyone give me an idea what they could be so maybe I could look them
up to check and see if they're likely to harm the fish.

Just to follow this up, I got a couple of snakeskin gouramis and all the
wrigglies seem to be gone :-)
