Tubifex Tubifex, wanda kuma ake kira tsutsotsi na laka, tsutsotsi na datti, ko kuma kawai tsutsotsi na Tubificid wanda ke zaune a cikin tafkuna da koguna a nahiyoyi da yawa. Tubifex mai yiwuwa ya haɗa da nau'o'i da yawa, amma rarrabe tsakanin su yana da wahala saboda gabobin haifuwa, waɗanda aka saba amfani da su a cikin ganewar jinsuna, ana sake su bayan haɗuwa, kuma saboda halaye na waje na tsutsotsi sun bambanta da canje-canje a cikin salinity. Wadannan tsutsotsi suna cinye turɓaya, suna narke ƙwayoyin cuta, kuma suna shan kwayoyin ta bangonjikinsu.
