Ok, I have 2 planted tanks. A 20 gal and a 36 gal.
Some time ago the larger got infested with nuisance snails. Small white pin head sized rabbit speed breeding things. Anyway, I got a Puffer poof no more snail problems.
Not long after I set up the smaller tank, I actually bought snails small rams horn type (dime sized) off of ebay. They were fine and did not really reproduce much.
Not long ago, (2-3 weeks) I isolated the puffer in a gold fish tank, and redeposited the snails into the larger tank to do some needed cleaning. I then put the puffer into the smaller basically snail free tank. Over the past week or so I have noticed some worm looking things approx 1/2" long swimming in the smaller tank. They are red in color, and very, very thin.
These are the things I am attempting to identify.
A search of freshwater snail larvae lead me to a form of worm that is infectious, and not that friendly (health wise). I am trying to see if this is something I need to be concerned about or not.
Here is a shot of my larger tank by the way.
