worms

what do the worms look like? and how would i know if my turtles has any? i found these red looking worms in my filter. They look like masqito larva but they are very red. i look in some of the poo and didn’t find anything… and they are eating very well. thanks John

I find those same worms in a well seasoned pond filter & know a friend who has the same thing. I was told they are a “good thing” Hope someone out there knows what they are. Any possibility that they are a “tube-a-flex” worm?? And if so wouldn’t that be a good thing? Or not? Look forward to someone answering your question! Sharon jkfactor wrote:

Here’s hoping someone in the group has the same answer also! Sharon jkfactor wrote:

If you guys are finding red mosquito larva-looking worms in your filter material, then don’t worry. Those are bloodworms and a type of fly larvae (not the common house fly). Yummy eating for fish or hatchlings. Cheers. -Chun — In diamondbackterrapins@y…, Tom & Sharon Paquette
