Well after keeping a nice snail food source (ramshorn) for my clown
loaches
for two months I have finally run into a complication. Im looking in
my
snail tank and there are hundreds of 'worms' floating around and
sticking
to
the glass. These guys are approx 1/2 inch long, any information on
what
these guys are and conversely how to get rid of them would be greatly
appreciated.Oh and of coarse Ive stopped taking out snails for loach
food
until I can figure this one out. Cheers, Brian



Are you sure they're half an inch? If they're smaller than that, they
may
be
planaria, which are mostly harmless.


I've grown planaria that got nearly 1 inch long when I was in Idaho ...
the
native species there was dark colored too.

Well I'm in Idaho right now (Coeur D'Alene) but my planaria (which is what
Im guessing they are now) are not dark colored but light. Is there any way
I can tell as the casual observer if they are in fact this? Their numbers
seem to be declining by the way..Cheers, Brian
