Hello, OK i have a problem. I have recently retired from the discus scene, but people alwyas helped here so i am back!
OK the problem is. A few months ago i introduced a second sponge filter to my discus tank. The filter was used, and was given by a family friend. I washed it propely before installing it in the tank.
Since then i noticed that i have small worms abouta cm long that are very thin. They wriggle as they fkloat through the water, or they stic to the side of the glass. I have tried Salt to see if i can combat them, to no avail.
Today i sold my discus to a breedre that lives localy.
And i wahse dthe tank out, and thefilter gently undr cold water, to preserve the bacteria in the fluval.
I took out the previouse sponge filter. I have noticed after putting a only a small amoutn of water in the tank that the worms are still their.
Does anyone know what they are. and how to get rid of them i intend to use the tank for Tropical or african cichlids. BUt dont want to until this problem is solved.
Thank you Saffwaan
