Hi so a friend of myne has these worms in his tank they crawl along the glass.

 

Do they crawl or wriggle swim?

The former sounds like planaria. The latter would be detritus-worms which are nothing to worry about. Planaria on the other hand is a nightmare

 

Crawl like a leach, tank is only a few months old.

 

It would not let me upload the vid to show.

 

You have to post it elsewhere and share the link. But definitely sounds like planaria. Do a Google search and try to identify from there

 

Thanks will do just out today so will try desktop when home.

 

Thanks, must be juvies cause they don't look the same size as the ones in vids I see, if so how does one get rid of them.

 

You could use a product called no planaria. It works well

Hope this help to confirm.

 

If says the video is private hehe

 

Lol, Ive edited it to link view only.

 

Definitely planaria

 

You can also dose with BastaPlanaria. It is cheap and a single bottle will probably last you a lifetime. It is shrimp friendly. I managed to sort out two tanks with this stuff in a week.

 

The problem is he has danios and shrimps in his tank

 

Thanks @everyone he did get meds and its sorted out.

 

I vouch for this - it works and I recently used it about a month ago.
