Re: [Killietalk] Identify worm

[Ken Simolo <Simolo at chem_chem.rochester.edu>]

Hi Wayne,

I have a green water tank that got a bunch of very thin worms in it. 
They clump just above the water surface on the glass.  When stirred 
up, they swim by rapid serpentine movement.  I would say they might 
have been as much as 1" long.  These worms are slightly orangish in 
color (most noticeable when they are clumped, otherwise they look 
white when they are swimming by themselves).  I have attached a 
microscope image of one (hopefully, it goes through).  Boy, do they 
look very different when you magnify them.  Not sure what they are 
but the fish really like them.
