Not as good as clkwrk's pics, but here are some RB's.




I had the clear type of AEFW's

I had a good one of the bite marks, but can't find it right now...

I did a quick freshwater dip of some Zoo's I have, to figure out why they are all not opening, looking to find a nudibranch or something. To my surprise, I found a bristleworm, a 2" red worm and a few of these flatworms.....
Can anyone identify these????????

Weird. I don't think that's a flatworm because of the cilia (at least I don't remember flatworms having them)...

hmmmmm....not sure either, they are flat...and they seem to be some sort of worm....
My purple tort is right above these and for some reason its the only acro in my tank that the polyps have been receeded for about a month.....for some reason, I havnt seen any polyps on the tort lately.....but seems to be healthy otherwise....

No cilia on flatworms. But I'm sure it's up to no good. You find inverts that small on things they eat, or with things they eat. Either it's eating flatworms, or it's eating acros.

Thanks its a Sony w-5. I have used many cameras and tried upgrading a few times but my w-5 takes better pics than any of the 400-500 dollar cameras I played with.

Wow, I think I found my next camera. Your pics are probably the best quality so far that I've seen on R/C.

Thanks but trust me those guys with their canons and multi lenses get better shots but I try my best. I just can't bring myself to spend 1500 on a camera setup to take tank pictures.
