Help on white thingy

jerome9731 · 03-05-2007, 11:37 PM

Hi all

I have been cycle a tank with moss only for about close to 2 week and i notice a few tiny white creatures. I got scared as this white creature are alive and not dirt and moving fast near to the tank screen. They are still so small to identify and i cant quite make them out.They stick themselv to the tank screen.

Is my tank infected? by wat?

i unable to post any pic yet

I hope someone can help.

Most probably your gravel/soil has got planaria or the like. If you are using old soil which I guess would have contained all the excretions from fishes or leftover feed, then this is probably the reason for it.

If I'm not wrong, they look like small white dots running around in the tank?

If that being the case...... how do you rid the tank of these things???

I suddenly realise that my tank has these buggers running around too
