	White Worms?
Fish Guy Mega Fish Posts: 1091 Kudos: 1254 Votes: 2 Registered: 28-Jan-2004	I had a 10 gallon set up with WCMM in it for breeding and i took the adults out thinking i had failed lol. But there are a dozen or so fry. The filter has been off now for about 2 weeks almost and now there are load of tiny white worms on the glass. I know this is usually caused by over feeding but i have'nt put food in that tank in 2 weeks and never put a lot in there in the first place. So what are these white worms? And can i feed them to my other fish?

Everytime i put my bio wheel in my tank to clean my filter, these worms are always on it. I think they are just peaceful scavengers. My fish eat them with no problems.
