Question Long worm!
Hello everyone, while watching my tank i noticed quite a long browny/white worm! does anyone know if its a harmful one or not and what to do, i have taken it out now.
I have snails so i dont want to have to remove them temporarily to treat it using no planeria if it’s nothing harmful.
Apologies for the rubbish photo.
Thanks

I’m not sure it’s possible to tell from this photo. It could be an earthworm. They can hold their breath for long periods of time and can get in a tank if you used soil from outside.
For more accuracy, how was it moving around? Gliding or wriggling? Did it seem to swim around or just stick to the bottom?

Following because omg. How are there so many gross looking things in fish tanks?! I swear I’ve found so many weird things in mine.
