looks like planaria. do you overfeed your fish?

you overfeed DO A BIG W.c

Planaria indeed. What you need to do is ensure you remove all food leftovers right after feeding. Control what you give your fish. If they cannot eat everything within 5 minutes, vacuum the food out of the tank. They're harmless by the way.

Oh ok good but i dnt want it in my tank no not really over feed I throw in like 3foodsticks in the morning 3 in afternoon n 3 at night but before I do I make sure the gar eats it !???maybe the crumbs that fall apart when he eats them because he sure attacks the hell out of em and crumbs go down to the sand?
Would it help if I bump the heater to 82 or not really and like 50% waterchange??

Can't figure out if your tank is bare bottom. Is it? Planaria are almost in every tank but present in undetectable number until they start exploding in numbers due to possible abundant food supply. But if your gar is not digesting the food properly, that would explain it. Undigested food will still be heaven's gift to planaria.
