What are they?

[pink66]

I went to do the daily "de-poo" of the The 4 foot tank that I am keeping my 4 babies in tonight and have found the front glass full of little white - between 1 & 1.5mm worm?? like critters. I have never before seen such critters in any of my tanks..

The babies are fine and eating well, - they are fed a combnation of B/H mix and f/d blackworms - my questions are:

What are they?
How did they get there?
Are they dangerous to my babies?
How do I get rid of them?

thanks very much indeed

thank you illusn... mmmm.. I have read and understand..

I am currently feeding the babies upto six times per day.. of which they are eating just about all of it.. but obviously not enough of it though.. I will reduce their food (they are cranky already :lol: :lol: ) and increase the water changes.. am doing a daily clean.. will increase to 2 de-poos per day.. to get it under control.. lucky i have a bb tank..

yeah.. i love it when fixing stuff can be this easily achieved..
