Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Hi, newby, I found a lot of small snail like creatures and small white color worms. See pic. Are they dangerous, what are they and how do I get rid of them. Please help! Thanks a million.See picture

I think the snails are pretty normal and probably ramshorn snails. They can be a nuisance but I've had pretty good luck using bluegill to keep the population down. Shellcrackers might work even better.

Aquatic worms are also common and not necessarily a problem.

I'd just treat both of these as normal but I'd try to control the snail population with some fish.

Cheers
