Insect Larvae??

iceberg78 · Oct 17, 2007

I have noticed some small (about 1/8 inch) white worm looking things in my tank lately. I believe it is some sort of insect larvae but I am not sure. If it is how can I get rid of them? Are they harmful? Here is a couple pics.

Those are not insect larvae, and don´t worry they are generally harmless. I´ve had huge populations of them in my tanks that eventually stabilize. Actually if you ever plan on breeding your newts and leaving the offspring with the parents, those little worms will be a great first food for the larvae. I´m currently trying to raise my second batch of C.orientalis eggs in a container full of this micro-food. You might also find flat bigger ones...again don´t worry....unless you had a real infestation i don´t think any of these creatures can cause any problem.
