|  Worms/larvae Found in Tank. Need help
I keep finding worms or larvae in my tank. I have been trying my best to keep them out, but its hard when i dont even know what they are or where they came from. Some are clearish black and the others are a clear red/ orange. Can any one please help?  its just so annoying to keep finding these worms.also, my newt does not get in the water. |

Could you post a picture? And concerning your newt not going into the water, what are your water parameters? Temperature? What kind of newt is it?

Was your newt recently-acquired, or have you had it a while and it used to be in the water? How often do you do partial water changes, and when you do them, how much water do you remove from the tank? And what is the tank size? The answers could be relevant to both of your questions.

I have a CFBN but he is not aquatic. The temp stays in normal range for a CFBN. I have a 10 gal tank but since he is terrestrial I have a terrestrial set up. I have about 1 -2 gal of water in the tank with an air stone. I have had him for about 7 months. I cant seem to get a good pic of the worms but i will try to post the vid i have of the red worms. Sorry its not very clear this is the only cam i have <embed width="448" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://i259.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid259.photobucket.com/albums/hh294/Gina31908/Video005.flv"> |
