Hi here is a pic of my first good imitator egg developing. along the edge of the water around the egg you will see some small squiggly white lines. these are somewhere around 3/16 to 1/4" they move like worms. I have also seen them in water in some of my other tanks. Have had no mysterious deaths or anything, but would like to know if these are a potenial threat to eggs or my frogs, and if so, how do I get rid of them? The eggs came from a setup that is but 6 months old, Corkbark, greatstuff, coco-bedding, ABG mix substrate, spagnum moss, LECA, Bromeliads, Spaths, and Salaginella.

Thanks,

Thank you all very much, I don't really think they are parasites either, but I have a feeling I would have got more than one egg out of the clutch of four if it weren't for the worms. It seems like the only place they have popped up is on the eggs, so I assume they feed on the eggs or something, I'll probably have some fecals run, just in case. In the meantime, I'll try to get the eggs out before the worms find them.
Thanks again,
