I was just looking at my fish tank and noticed small white wormlike things crawling on my glass. I've had the threadlike worms before that so many people post about due to overfeeding. When I had them they appeared around the water surface not all over the window. These ones are nearly half the size or less, I hardly noticed them. They seem to crawl across the glass fairly quick too. I pushed a couple of them off into the water to see if they swim like the other worms and they don't, they just kind of drifted in the current.

Are they possible just a younger stage of the worms caused by overfeeding?

Are they parasites?

I haven't cleaned the window in a couple weeks and it definately could use it, I know. However, there are baby snails that are not much bigger than a grain of sand on the window(the small white dots) that you can compare the size to.

All help is appreciated!

Planaria. Do plenty of water changes and vacuuming, and cut feeding.
 
Yup, planaria. I've had those before. Smaller fish will usually eat them
