I sometimes see these very tiny stringy worms swimming in the water, wiggling their body like a snake. They are thinner than my hair.
I've been trying to take a video of them whenever I see one swimming about but these guys have the ability to disappear whenever I turn on the camera app.
Last night I've found one on the glass (not the usual place I find them) and managed to film it with a microscope. Interesting looking little thing.



Just to let you know, these worms are different from the tiny stringy worms I posted before.

Video not working for me, But by the way your describing it, could it be a spaghetti warm?

There’s a video in this thread, might be useful.

Here's a new link to the video, hope this works

Thanks for the link but these guys are much shorter and they actually swim so I don't think they are spaghetti worms.

Free swimming nematode imo
Thanks, they do look like a nematode of a sort.
