I picture might be helpful so we can see what your talking about and maybe I'd what's going on.

It could just be Planaria that you are seeing. But like Aquanero said, you'll need pictures or more details to be sure.

i try to take pics but u cant see them in the pics it just looks ike oxygen in the water

If they are very tiny white worms in the water, then it's probably Planaria. They are harmless if this is the case. They accumilate in tanks with a lot of uneaten food and waste in the substrate. Their numbers can be reduced by regular water changes, cleaning the substrate, and reducing the amount of wasted food in the tank. I hope this is your problem and not parasites.
