little swimming worms in tank

06-11-2003, 11:06 PM

These few days I am looking in my tanks and I saw a few little swimming white worms in the tanks. I just added alot of salt into my 5 foot tank. But no heater. Will this help?

salt will help lah.. but heater will speed up the killing process. Bro get some tank mates like clown loaches , they are efficient in clearing WW

Get a big bag tiger barbs feeders. This way you kill 2 birds with one stone. Sort out the worms and feed the aro too.

Recently have this problem. Got solved by adding salt and putting a $2 bag of tiger barb feeders. Within a couple of days, the worms all disappear.
