MYSTERY LARVAE EXPLOSION!?!?!?
I have a freshwater aquarium. The only fish living in it is a juvenile jack dempsey cichlid.
As I was turning out the lights in the house, I noticed that there are THOUSANDS of tiny white specks floating through the tank, and sticking to every inch of the glass. I’m guessing that they are actually some kind of mini-bug, because they seem to be crawling on the glass, not just being swirled by the current. Where did these come from and WHAT ARE THEY????
I have been trying to get him to eat less flake food and more pellets lately, and there’s been a lot of uneaten flake crumbs floating to the bottom….that would make sense. It’s just so…disturbing!

Planaria….. harmless.
Usually the result of overfeeding… and JD are messy eaters.
There’s always some present down in the substrate,they really only “explode” when the food source does.
A good water change of 50% and a thorough gravel vacuuming will help get them back under control.
