The question is... How would copepods or planaria have gotten into the tank? Can they come in through water changes? We have city water, so I'd think it would be unlikely.
As far as them spawning, we do have at least three fry that are 1/4 inch long. We had originally had two Otocinclus in the tank for at least a month before we added the other three, so these fry probably came from them. I should have mentioned that in my original post, but it was very late and I forgot.
Seeing as it's very difficult to find any spawning info on these, could they have up to 200 fry at one time? I'll attempt to get some good pictures, but with the size of them, it's been difficult.
