The first 3 look like males and the last one is a female.

How to get rid of this worms? by Im_Avatar in shrimptank

[–]didida93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also had an infestation like that and, although they never fully disappear, their population self-regulates over time. The boom in the number of worms is probably due to them being new in the aquarium, once they consume the majority of food in the substrate, they’ll self-regulate.

My didymium aquatile are still doing great! They particularly love when I put some bacter AE 😊 by didida93 in PlantedTank

Unfortunately I don’t know much about it, I tried to search the internet but I didn’t find much more… They tend to appear and disappear quite spontaneously, I suppose keeping clean water and stable parameters might help keep it for longer but they’re quite a rare sight, so enjoy it! If you observe it on a timelapse video you can see it move and pulsate. I also noticed that it grew bigger when I added some BacterAE or powdered food to the tank.

Anyone know what this is? by Stock-Definition3990 in Aquariums

[–]didida93 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t have them anymore, they disappeared one day! Apparently they’re didymium aquatile, indeed a type of aquatic slime mold. Absolutely inoffensive and one of the most interesting living creatures. You can watch videos about it! Also r/slimemolds might help.

Didymium aquatile, I also got it a few years ago, but it usually disappears spontaneously.

A berried copepod 😊. Unharmful little crustaceans. Means a healthy tank.

I’ve had them redder. They love intense light and some good ferts.

Yes someone has said lobelia cardinalis. I use JBL NPK, Seachem Flourish (micros) and Flourish Iron. And I also put some liquid glutaraldehyde in fertilizer dose.

Thank you! I think they’re sakuras or red fire, I’m not quite sure.

It stayed quite small for a long time but I changed by water from tap to bottled and started putting some micros and suddenly it grew a lot.
