flatworms, good or bad type?
a few days ago i noticed what appeared to be flatworms in my tank. i wasnt sure and decided to let it go until they get a little bigger and i can see whats going on. today i noticed atleast 3 of these creatures. im pretty sure now they are flatworms and also pretty sure they are the beneficial type. i just need confirmation.
one of them is moving around the tank very fast and is picking at pods. eatting them i think. another one is sitting one an algae area on the glass but also picks at any pods that come to close to it. these creatures are white and very small. about twice the size of a copepod. here is a pick of exactly what they look like: u see the pod and the slightly larger worm.
