Hey guys so I just noticed in my fry tank that there's countless number of tiny thread-like things swimming around. Any idea what they may be and whether or not they may be dangerous to my american fries (they're about a week old)? I know the description is vague but I don't really know what they are at all. They're just very tiny and range from 1-2mm in length (approximate).
Tiny Worm Things?

Every once in awhile when I do a water change on a tank I will get these small whiteish/clearish worms in my tank (they look like an alage hanging on the glass at first), I just scrub/do another water change and they dissappear. I have had no problems with my fish yet because of it.... though a lot of worms are also not good. I am not sure what kind of worm you have. Try to research worms online and see if you can ID your worm - that might be more helpful. It really just depends on the type of worm you have..
Probably just harmless little detritus eaters that your fry will pick off. If you want to get rid of them, feed less and do more water changes

Mhm hopefully that's all they are. I've been overfeeding since the fries are still young and much of the food I feed sinks to the bottom before the fries can eat 'em and they don't like eating off the bottom anymore. :/
But yeah, will try to find out what these things are.

Well tiny white threads are gone - I added salt two days ago, probably killed them off. Now I think I have an outbreak of planaria tho lol. XD Hm.
How do people get planaria? I throw fish, moss, rocks and driftwood from the river and never get them. I do get the hair like nematodes occasionally but the minnows and goldfish in my sump put a stop to them when they have population booms.
