Question
What happened to my tank! Water got v. cloudy and a thin layer of transparent gelatinous stuff appeared on every inch of the submerged glass. Cleaning out fish found a small white leech looking being, half cm when shortened and would stretch out to about 2 cm when moving. Didn't take to it! should i treat the tank/fish? Thanks, have just cleaned out as usual.  2 new plants did go in a week ago, ditched one of them now - a fine grass like one, kept small leafy one.

Answer
Hi there, I had a similar questions someone asked me not too long ago. It sounds like you have planaria in your tank. If you are able to view my past questions and answers, do so and view the question and answer from Jimmy. Its heading is white worms in tank. If not let me know and I will explain to you this planaria. Good luck.
