jay_ro Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Hey all, Bought a new male platty home yesterday, did the usual stuff before putting him in the tank, about an hour later i checked in on him and out of the corner of my eye saw a miniscule worm wriggling around at the top of my tank. it was white and was about 2 cm in length but could stretch itself out to about 4cm? i fished it out and killed it but what im wondering is.. where did it come from?? could it be from the new male?? if there was one does it mean there will be more?? and are they harmful to the fish or me?! it freaked me out!! i know nothing about fish worms. it sends chills down my spine haha appreciate the feedback!!
