Ramshorn Snail eggs - from just layed to hatching.

Ramshorn Snails, from eggs being hatched to freely moving around the 64 Litre Aquarium. The snail population doesn't appear to be bothered by the small fish in the tank in any way. I can't decide if the tiny worm like creatures, seen moving around the outside of the snail egg cluster, are tiny baby shrimps, or young snails. But I have always understood that baby snails have a shell as soon as they hatch. Comments please!

Glad to be of help, and thanks also for identifying my worms...erm...not MY worm, I mean the ones in the tank!

@nigelangel7388 That makes sense, I have a number of plants.

@pyr0static Have you got any plants in your new tank? I think that's the only way you could get the little worms into your tank, if they hitched a ride on a plant. To be honest, I think the worms are present in most aquariums, it's just that we've never been used to looking so closely! Thanks for the comment, and good luck with the new tank.

@nhstitan18 I just noticed those worms showing up in my aquarium cycling with fish food. Wonder where on earth they come from.

Thanks for this video. I was trying to figure out what snails are in my qt tank.

The worms are planaria. They are found on the glass :) Usually caused by overfeeding.
