Starsprinkle Rainbowsmile Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I looked at the hitchiker guide and some other places and couldn't seem to find what I found in my tank today. It was on the glass and it moves pretty quick. It later went down to the sandbed where I lost it. I can't imagine this thing being good. Anybody more experienced know what this is? Some kind of nasty flatworm? It was a little over 1/4 of an inch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzobob Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Nice white flatworm. Beneficial, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doktorstick Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 +1 Gonzo. It's harmless. Most (all?) white ones are harmless. If you find reds or browns, that's a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starsprinkle Rainbowsmile Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 Thanks for the replies! Good to know its not harmful. I was misinformed because I thought all flatworms were bad, but it seems the real problem ones are the reddish brown ones. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 It's only bad when you see the red ones eating the white ones. That's when you know you have a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
