Those pesky little white worms all over my tank!
 
:shock2: One or more of my tanks have been overtaken at times by these tiny little white worms that seem to be millions in number, multiplyng like rabbits. Over-the-counter remedies strong enough to eliminate them without adversely affecting my fish and/or my biological balance in my tank seem not to exist.
:thinking:I have learned over the years that usually Rosy Barbs and/or Tinfoil Barbs will voraciously attack and eat them like those guys at the annual Nathan's Hot-Dog eating contest!
Does anybody else out there have any expeience with these pesky little guys? & know of any other fish that enjoy eating them? ( I've tried Plecos, Pictus, Raphaels, Corys, Otocinclus, but had no luck)

Pesky whiteworms
 
Hey, they may be pesky to you, but fish fry adore that stuff! I know people asking for them to use to raise baby fish. Stay in touch and I'll tell you who needs them.
Good luck!

Try not feeding your fish for couple of days to see if the population diminishes.
