Default The most fun

So here I am as usual staring into my tank at 1 in the morning looking for cool new stuff. Tonight I found literally 1000s of these little critters that were attracted to the light. This was the best picture i could get of them. Anybody got an ideas? I really did try to get a better picture. They seemed to be very motile, and were dark in colour like the pictrure.

Can you describe them a bit? Because they're attracted to the light, I'm inclined to guess that they're red planaria but it's impossible to tell with that picture.

They were really hard to see, they move about very rapidly. I can see them better in the pics than when I was looking in the tank. Like I said they were dark in colour, no visable fins, they were round in shape not flat, and were attracted to the light. I mean there were clouds of them!!
