I've created new life in my tank and I don't think it's good.
Ok, here is the situation. I have about 9 discus in a 55 gallon tank. I do my water changes as follows:
Mon, Wed, Friday 30%
Sun, Tues, Thurs, Sat 50%
Gravel is vacuumed every time as well.
I just noticed on the sides of the tank tiny, almost microscoptic worm looking things. They look like they are white. I can tell they are alive because when two of them move towards each other they turn around and go the other way. What are these things? I could see something like this happening if the tank was dirty but this things is spotless. All the fish are very healthy, no problems with any of them. Please let me kow if anyone has came across this before. Also one time when I was going through the gravel I sucked up a red worm looking thing. I thought it was the fish waste and it was only moving because of the current in the water. So I let the bucket sit for about 10 min and it was still moving. It king of looked like a blood worm almost 1.5-2 inches long. Blood worms can't come back to life after being frozen can they?
