I don't think it is possible to see free-swimming ich with the naked eye

Water fleas or daphnia would be my guess, you can't see ICH, its way too small.

Another more worm like option would be planaria. With planaria you can clearly see (although its tiny so you need good eyes) two small "eyes" in the heads.


Both are harmless. The planaraia are common in tanks that are over fed and under cleaned.
