White worms came with plants?

they'd look hungry right up to the point of exploding from over eating. the gluttons of the water.

Yupyup. But she like freaks out when she comes in "Oh Tonya, they're absolutely starving" Honestly. I feed them twice a day and they get algae wafers three times a week. They're growing, healthy little fishies. Pretty sure I'm doing the feeding part right at least. I was over-feeding recently though.

my boyfriend thinks ours are starving too. he would have"loved" them to death with food long ago if it were up to him.

I'll admit, it's so hard to not feed them when they do the "feed me" dance. They're absolutely adorable. But as a fishy mommy I know better.

The kicker is the comet I have that started this all (the one I'm trying to rehome) was her responsibility originally. She bought a bag full of feeder goldfish and put them in a large fountain we have outside. They lived out there for two years and one day I went out there and most of the water was gone and he was on the surface of some leaves with just a bit of water. I freaked and well, here we are now. Bleh but enough about that xD

Do you think those look like wormies or just poo that I maybe over-reacted about?

ty :3 I'll start cleaning my gravel better now. I suppose that's why I never had them until I got gravel.

I wouldn't treat with AQ salt in a tanks with live plants... just putting that out there if you are still planning on treating with salt. :)

Nope, not gonna just yet. Want to wait a bit and see if just being more diligent with my cleaning and feedings helps. I don't want to move the pleco unless I have to (she's a pain to catch)

Thank you though, I didn't know salt could be bad for the plants!
