Re: 100 small white worms
Thanks to all that responded. Paul was asking about segments or blood
flukes, but my friend at work is a microbiologist and confirmed they
were small planaria. You could clearly see two eye spots on the head
and they tended to secure themselves with their tail end. You could
even see their internal parts under the microscope and they compared
nicely to illustrations we have.
For an update, I could only find a couple this morning. This leads me
to believe, they're dying or being eaten. I guess it was a false
scare, but anyway, I still hate small things that look like parasites
in my tanks. Let this be a warning to all you parasites!!!
