i have recently noticed these tiny, probably about 1 mm in length each, worm like things on the glass of my aquarimu. they are everywhere... hundreds. probably thousands of them, there doesn;t seem to be anything wrong though in the tank witht he fish or anything, but it can't be a good thing... in the tank i have 3 6" rbp's and i have fed them a number of raw meets, incl. feeder goldfish, krill, beefheart, and ground beef (im thinkin maybe there was some type of worm in the meat???) If nayone has any adivse i would greatly appreciate it or maybe one of you has had this happen before??? thanks a lot.

the answer to this problem is oviis, just scrape the worms of the glass and flush them down the toilet.

The reason they keep coming back is because they are not just on the glass they are also in the gravel in your aquarium.
