<p>FWIW, If you had cammalanus (and unless your operation is a commercial venture), what I would have recommended is to nuke the system with a veterinarian approved anti worming agent that is approved effective on nematode worms, then drain and let dry. Nematodes can be nasty and persistent. Glad you did not have to go that route!</p>

<p>Look at this picture comparing camallanus on the left to the two picture of chironomidae (bloodworms) on the right.</p>
<p>Chironomidae are midge larva - they will eventually turn into little flys that generally harmless to plants fish or people. You can see the body segments, head and mouthparts etc. Camallanus is a nematode, a small non-segmented worm with no discernible body parts.

<p>Chironomidae are midge larva - they will eventually turn into little flys that generally harmless to plants fish or people. You can see the body segments, head and mouthparts etc. Camallanus is a nematode, a small non-segmented worm with no discernible body parts. Not likely, but just to list all possibilities you could also have tubifex or California blackworms in your system, both of which are annelids - segmented worms (family includes earthworms). They are often sold as live food for aquarium fish. These would be beneficial int he system as they eat detritus.</p>
