Hi,

I just woke up and while doing my morning tank inspection, I found these little critters floating/swimming in the corner of the tank. Can you please help me ID what are they? Thanks 20250607_095558.jpg 20250607_095556.jpg 20250607_095507.jpg 20250607_095459.jpg

I’m not entirely sure to be honest.

My first thought was they looked like red planaria, just not red.

It’s possible they could be something else. Do the fish eat them?

Haven't seen any fish eating them since they dissappeared after the lights came on
 
Generally when I see pods on the glass they are small and you can see them crawling around.

Also, if you have any wrasses they would be going after them if they were pods (especially the 6 line type wrasses).

I’m still leaning towards some type of flatworm, but I could be wrong.
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
