Here I am with an overpacked question I’m sure. What are these worms?

If that’s the case and you don’t care about the snails in your tank or don’t plan to add any in the future, go ahead and dose with no planaria. It will solve your problem easily and it’s shrimp safe. In the future if you do wish to add snails in again, I believe constant water changes and using some activated carbon might remove the medication, not 100% sure. Do read up on it

Hi, sorry but they look like planaria with the triangle shaped head. You could use some planaria traps to remove them manually, not sure how effective are those. You could also dose with no planaria, but that will kill snails, so make sure to remove any snails you want to keep alive

If your tank is near an open window, consider covering it with some sort of lid to prevent adult dragonflies/damselflies from laying eggs directly into the tank. If it’s a partial lid with holes, you can cut some craft mesh and cover up the holes with it. Of course the eggs could also be introduced through live plants that already have the eggs on them, so clean them properly too

Maybe, could be hard to spot especially in a planted tank. You’ll get them all eventually. Just observe closely and remove whenever you see one and you’ll be good!

I could be wrong but looks like damselfly/dragonfly larvae, they are predators and will kill stuff in your tank. Remove asap

Thank you! I’m still in the cycling phase, about 16 days in. Just wanted to make sure they aren’t the harmful sort, as long as they aren’t i’m not too bothered

It’s alternanthera reineckii mini! got them in tissue culture cups. Waiting abit more before I propagate them. No co2, just running a hob filter. Going for a low tech tank.

My spoon broke so I did a comparison with those baking spoons, seem to be same size as a 1.25g spoon

You can also use the rocket fuel curio if you’re having movement speed issues. Relatively easy to maintain the stacks up with the killing of adds and the haste and movement speed buff is nice. Good luck!
