White worms?

[erik]

I went to my usual aquarium supply store and got some black worms, but this time there were some wierd looking white womry thing in there too. Only 3-4, I picked them out because they confused me and I don't like being confused. It was as large as a black worm, and was white and was flat. It had a head that I could see, and also had like 2 rows of dots along the inside of it.

any ideas what it is

I find lots of other worms mixed in with live blackworms. Some of them are flatworms (like leeches). They are not harmful. The ones you saw could have been flatworms or some other kind of aquatic worm.

super, I removed them all before feeding just incase. Thanks for teh quick repsonse. As always this forum rules. I have a feeling they were some sort of flatworm or something, but they looked a little too complex to be basic flatworms. I don't remember much from my old bio class, so who knows.
