small white worms?

[austos12]

so i have a ten gallon that has a 1.5" dovii fry that im growing out, and i was looking at it today and out of nowhere a TON of these small super thin works were on the tank wall and inching around and a few were floating in the water! is this an internal parasite that got pooped out and hatched? what should i do!! anyone else have experience with this sort of thing?

Planaria, small harmless worms, usually a result of food left in the tank. Your fish can eat them, just vac and keep clean.

No prob, just try and keep uneaten food out of the tank!

I agree. Suck as many out as you can when doing water changes and cut down on how much your feeding and they should disappear.
