About 20+ yrs ago I also ran into some 1" very skinny red worms in my gravel. Probably sand at that time. I think it was also a tap grass that I was growing. It was the only thing that I could grow in an aquaurium without lights back then. Never seen them since but don't remember having any problems related with or to them.

During the process of uprooting I am running into a small red worm or leech that is about 1 inch long. They are being found entangled in the roots or right at the base of the plants. I have never seen these before in my years of having aquariums. Has anybody else seen these in their tanks or know of them? Thanks.
