What Is This! Turned on my lights this morning and seen this moving around



sorry for the big huge picture lol

I'm going to venture a guess that it's some sort of Polychaete worm.

P.S. It's a shame you feed Hill's brand pet food. Or at least I assume you do from the container.

The Science diet forumula used to be AMAZING... but the company did the same thing IAMS, EUK and many other companys did and absolutly ruined their formula with out notifying anyone. Hills does have a vet brand food now, I believe its called medi- cal?

(On topic it is some sort of a Polychaete worm nothing to worry about IMO)

[Mattgesy]

well i took the worm out of my tank anyways becuase hell i want it in there, its scary looking


No, Hills does not own Medical at all, medical owns Royal Cannin food
Hills is Hills lol
Hills has only changed there formula in the store brand food they took the peanuts out of the food for people that is allergic to it, and feeding it to there pets, but as for changing anything alot, nothing at all

So taking the peanuts out magically turned "Chicken" into "Chicken By Products?"... Science diet about 2 years ago had a listing of ingredients that was similar to Nutro foods now its more similar to IAMS.

Those foods are all crap imo. Look at the ingredients. Good foods are Evo, Evo Innova, Wellness, Orijen, California Naturals, etc.

Couldn't agree with you more, IMO the ONLY affordible food which still holds a proper nutritional value would be the Nutro line of foods.

California Natural is pretty affordable...the 36lb bag is about $50-52 around here.

Albeit my dog did well on Nutro Natural Choice Large Breed Adult for 5 years before I switched to raw for a year, and now Wellness.

Holy thread hi-jack!!! Oh well, we determined the ID of the worm.

well it certainly is a polychaete, but whether or not it was harmful (since it got the boot) is questionable. i doubt it was and im willing to bet that it wasnt the only one in your tank too.

when you say "moving around" do yuo mean along the ground or in the water column? it looks like it might be in one of its reproductive stages called an epitoke... or it might just be a species that always looks that way. shrug.
