These are in my 29g tank that used to be my brackish tank....

Any ideas on what tiny squiggly white worms swimming around my tank are? They look like they are swimming but really slow....

Also there seem to be little white eggs in my tank, these could have been in there from the brackish tank, maybe bumble bee goby eggs but that would mean they have been there for 2-3 weeks (seems like a long time).

Maybe the 2 are connected?

I have them also, I think they are Planaria, and they wont hurt anything. They say that dirty sand is the cause.

More than likely planaria. Not likely bumblebee goby eggs. Not easy to spawn.

That is what I am gathering. I did not think they were fish eggs, this tank has not had any fish in it for a couple weeks.

Kind of funny, this tank actually got like 2 weeks to get cycled and situated before fish went into it.... now it has some dirty little worms swimming around....so much for taking my time....

Bumblebee Goby eggs actualy look like a group of snail eggs that have fungused. They are white and all together in a slime coating. We have two spawning at True Perc. If you had Goby, then there you go.
