Hi All,

This morning I discovered something unusual floating on the bottom of my aquarium. I fished it out and found it to be a flat leech like worm with a tiny sucker on one end of it. It is just over an inch long nd pale in colour. What the heck is this? My aquarium had a complete tear down about a year ago and since there were no new fish, plants or snails added. The only thing is rozen fish food. Did I feed some ****e eggs to my fish? How can I combat this? All fish are alive and range in size from Guppy to 2 grown Angels. I didn't see any fish misbehaving or looking sick. I also can't find the match for the worm on the internet.

Any one knows this case???

Thanks.

Hi,I have heard reports of leeches in Ruto frozen bloodworm,never seen it though as I wont use freshwater frozen larvae.

Was it alive?
I doubt anything could survive the freezing and sterilisation process.

No, it was dead. I didn't watch fish eat up worms, so I don't know if it simply got defrosted from the food cube or if it came out for a fish....

If it was dead and it was from the food cube, there should be no risk to the fish.
