Hi all, first post
Have my first axolotl all set up for a little over a month now, had some ups and downs already (little guy or girl swallowed and luckily puked up some gravel the pet store owner assured me wouldn't be dangerous... grrrr) but seems pretty healthy and has a good appetite
Just noticed when I tured on the aquarium light (normally stays off) thousands of very very small fine wormy critters all over the inside walls and floor, about a millimeter long and as wide as a hair. Thought they might be some kinda fibrous stuff lining the tank but lo and behold, they wriggle purposefully around the place, 20 or so on every square inch of surface, seems absolutely infested in there.
I can't see any on the axolotl, but they're transparent or white and he/she's leucistic so difficult to tell...
Couldn't get a good photo sorry, anyone know based on my poor description what these little buggers might be and how to get rid of them?
