Maybe another stupid question

[ph33nyx]

So after some consideration I pick up a few things for a CUC: 4 bluish legged hermits, an emerald crab, 2 Nassarius snails, 3 snails that look like their wearing a turban, and 2 snails that seem to like the glass (round shell). But, on another note, I went in to check my new additions this evening and found the back of the tank covered in these little brown things. Are these a good thing? (tried to get the best pict I could)

I still can't believe my tank is only a little over a week old.

Do they move? Or are they stationary?

they seem to move

They almost look like red flatworms. Do they look like this?

Good call Dave, I was thinking the same thing.

The don't look that big, also they look more round. I went back and looked again and noticed some swimming around as well.

 

[little_fish]

Sounds like flatworms to me too

+ 1 flatworms. Time to do a treatment with Flatworm Exit and hope it takes care of them.

There is no such thing a s a stupid question in this hobby.

 

[ph33nyx]

Ok....I found an image on another site that looks like them. Some kind of pod creature?

 

[ph33nyx]

Maybe I should have described them more like little fleas (that's how I did my Google search and got the image).

 

[AmberSunrise]

amphipods or copepods?

Are they moving? After I got my snails they crapped brown eggs all over the glass looks like eggs to me

 

[ph33nyx]

There was an open bottle of this stuff where he was bagging everything up. Could he have squirted some in while I wasn't looking?

 

[little_fish]

Maybe, but its far more likely its flat worms

 

[Pwny]

pods ive seen in my tank dont like light so it would seam strange that they are all over the glass with the lights on. i also think its more likely a kind of flatworm

If he did its not a bad thing. Why dont you scrape some out and take a better picture so we can all stop arguing about worms or pods HEEHEE

 

[Bifferwine]

I am pretty sure those are flatworms, not pods.

Sounds like they gave you snails, crabs and WORMS! EW
