water worm?

Post by Three Trees »

I've lifted a wood today from my aquarium and I discovered a worm underneath it. it's not a fish dropping. it seems to be live and kicking. I've isolated it untill I'll discover what it is.
so... what is it?

What's the diet been like for this fish? Also, any new occupants in the tank, plant or animal(besides the driftwood)?

You'd need to get some detail on the Head and Tail to aid identification. Do you access to a good Magnifying Glass, or even a Microscope? Do some sketches and scan them in...
