 | Little white worms? |
steven1982  Hobbyist Posts: 104 Kudos: 74 Votes: 38 Registered: 13-Jan-2008   | I have a 20 gal tank with an Apple Snail and a African Clawed Frog. I was cleaning the tank and I saw hundreds of these white worms. They are as thick as a hair and 1/4 inch long (1 cm). What are they? Why are they there? What should I do? |
