Little White string worms in tank

[timbo08]

I was feeding my fish in my smaller tank today and noticed two little white stringy looking worms. They are tiny. Probably about 2/8 of an inc long and a centimeter wide. I am guessing it is some sort of Parasite?? Any help will be great.

if their on your bichirs their ancor worms but if their free floating/in gravel their planeria, totally harmless. ancor worms can kill a fish in large quantities tho....

they are not on the Bichirs they just floating.

google or use the search function, look for "nematodes"

Very common harmless worm.
