G'day everyone ,can you help ?
do you know if theese little worms are harmful
to my tanks and fish .They don't seem to bother them
the fish that is ,they bother me thou,any suggestions .

I had the same situatioin - IMO they are harmless just reflective of Adelaide's fine fishkeeping water - not! I treated my tank with formaldehyde soln, dose : 1ml/38lt of tank water. This worked a treat, but there are probably other ways by not using this pretty harsh and nasty chemical. Good luck

Ummm, better also add that since treating this tank, I have not noticed any more worms and I treated the tank about 10 months ago.
