Is that supposed to be there?

Ok I just looked at my tank thats still in the cycle and i noticed that the food thats gone down to the bottom was kinda waving around so i looked closer and theres this clear stringy kinda stuff on the sand that the foods stuck to and i nwas wandering if that was supposed to be there?

 

it is probably a vermented snail or also some worms have long feeder strings or nets that they cast out to collect food. They will draw them back in and feast. It is a good sign that things are going good.

 

yea but its spread out around the tank.. id take a picture but i dont think my cameras good enough to catch that.. its hard enough with the fish XD

 

sounds like spaghetti worms=good guys

 

tuff to say 100% with out pic. I belive it will be fine.

 

ok thanks lemme see if i can get one on cam

 

my camera cant catch it b/c it blends with the sand... but its probably what you said il look it up and post again. thanks guys

 

no problem let us know if you find anything out definatly

 

ok well i looked them up and it would look like it exactly but the ones i seen on the internet were clear but not see through.. the ones in my tank almost look like flem.. idk if the worm you are talking about can be see through but the ones i seen werent see though

 

excess bacteria?
