Cool thanks for your help i must say after i got that sand vac i used it for about an hour cleaning the sand and there is not as many of them in the tank now i shall try another good clean. Thanks for the info i just did not want my axies to get harmed cheers

i have those as well, i hate them to bits, they creep me out. I don't recommend this but i bought 3 small baby rosy barbs to eat them up and it worked. 2 became axie dinner in one night, the other lasted a week or so. It helped teh problem alot though. I suppose you could shift your axie to a holding tank adn put heaps of little fish in there to do a clean up and then swap them over??? Just a suggestion.

Yeah i have a few of them

I got some little white ones that swim in straight lines across the water hey hve little leg things. Is that the same thing?

I have a similar thing in my tank, and the babies have been eating them. Are they likely to be harmful?
