Hey everyone.. Well I just removed my bubbler in preperation to getting a couple live plants today.. and when I was lookin in the water I noticed this SUPER SMALLL litttle worm like thing swimming around.. I have no fish yet however I did get some gravel from an established tank.. do I have to worry about this thing or is it normal? Thanks

was it white and threadlike and about 1/4"? if so, it sounds like planaria. they are harmless, they usually form when there is excess nutrients in the tank. sounds like it could have come over from the gravel.
