What are these?

[marivan]

I put some live plants in my tank about a year or so ago and they are doing okay, but I think I got these weird slug like creatures from one of them. What are they and are they dangerous for my axolotl? I suck some up when cleaning the tank, but can't possibly get all of them. They seem to be everywhere.
In the meantime, a growth that she had on her belly seems to have healed itself and she seems healthy.

Do you have pictures

I will try to get one. I thought that the mp4 would show, but I see it is just black.

Maybe some kind of slug or something are they stuck to the glass or floating

How large are they?

Looks like planaria.

Hello all, they are about 1/4" or slightly smaller (5cm) and they are like snails in that they crawl along the glass and any rocks etc. I looked up planaria and yes, that is what they are. They must have come in off a plant. Are they harmful to my axolotl? I thought they looked like something that she would like to eat! Thank you all for your replies.

Definitively Planaria (possibly genus Dugesia with this trigonic head).
Planaria are often carried with aquatic plants. They lay eggs cocoons glued on the plants and sometimes difficult to notice.
Planaria eat organic matter of animal origin. Some species are predators of small animals.
Caudates eggs can be eaten by Planaria but there is usually no dammage to larvae and adult caudates.

Well my Axolotl is 9" long and she isn't having babies, so I guess she should be okay? I read that I need to make sure that there isn't left over food in the tank and they will die off if there isn't enough food for them. I just wanted to make sure that Bonnie (Axi) won't be affected by them. Definitely got them with a plant. Darn. Thank you.
