gianniz Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 i messed up the tank moving things around , and hour later or so i was doing some inspection, I saw a red round bug with few legs on the black pebbles! so i had no choice but to do SUPER inspection! (windex then eye ball literally touching the glass! lol)Now at this microscopic level I was to see a few sperms!!!! (tail wiggled as well so it must be alive).I googled but could not find any explanation.Please help me! Oh fish seem to be fine, except some times I see them have it fit for a sec?? and occasional scratching (but thats normal).Thanksps I found this post, and it what I have ...http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/aquarium/msg0701572111032.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ageofaquariums Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Hi Gian,First of all SPERM LOL. Google Planaria. It is caused by uneaten food. A gravel cleaner is your friend.Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianniz Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 hi ben,it's not Planaria.

Josh Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 It probably is sperm then. Dont let your misses near the tank for a while until it dies. Make sure you keep the lids on too. These strongest ones can jump! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Are you keeping any shelldwellers in the tank?It isnt sperm, you cant see individual sperm with the naked eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandy001 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Sounds like to me that you are enjoying your fish a little too much.Not that there is anything wrong with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianniz Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 no shell dwellers but I do have transcriptus gombe (i doubt it as I know what their fry looks like) or it could be ghost knife? (doubt it as I could only get eggs so far).my best guess is some sort of parasite??i'll get a camera soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
