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.

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)
