    Default Nematodes?

    Can you load a pic for us?

    Nematode species can vary. Most often you'll see the thin whitish-clear ones. These are considered harmless to frogs, though some species might snack on your microfauna springtails and baby isos. They do eat dead leftover fruit flies.

    Nemerteans are evil little buggers and can cause havoc in your vivariums and may even eat your frog eggs. They too eat your microfauna, and can rapidly wipe them out. They tend to be light brown to tan to pinkish brown in color.

    A pic would help.

    I know I should post a pic, but every time I try nothing shows up! The worm looks like part of the dampness. They're clear or at least so thin they look clear.

    it could be those white worms i had in my springtail cultures awhile ago. i think they where called grindal worms. i was told they are harmless and sometimes used as a feeder for fish.
