worms

Only CArol Gulley is capable of diagnosing or identificatin without
an image or detailed description. Just one small example of how much
bad info Carol aka Zebulon puts out on the usenet. Guess its part and
parcel of being such an attention whore!

Hello, No these are not Blood Worms. They are a larva and not a true
worm. These look like white worms or a small tubafex worm but bright
red in color.It is strange that they or their eggs would have survive
months in a deep freezer well below 0 degrees F.

Hello all,Today I discovered a type of worm on my filter pad. I am
using the Emperor filter system on a 29 gallon tank with lots of
plants and mixed community fish. No new plants or fish in over a year.
The only difference is that I am occasionally feeding frozen
mosquito larva. These worm are on the foam biological filter pad
behind the floss/charcoal pad and appeared to be feeding on the
material on the pad. There were only about five or so. They were
about the diameter of sewing thread , an inch or so in length and
bright red. I am not worried, just curious. Thanks. Richard
====================
Bloodworms that possibly came in with the mosquito larvae?
