Planaria or Something Else?

Post by julian »

I just discovered these super small white bugs inside my aquarium this morning. I managed to get a video of it with my microscope - check it out:

Anyone have an idea what this thing is?

Julian, your video is set to private, so we can't view it. Can you change the settings so we can take a look?

Thanks for the ID, Seaquake. I'm concerned about them becoming invasive or harming my Discus.

They're similar to pest snails, in that they'll multiply with an abundance of food.
