[Mahulya]

I just noticed many tiny white warms on the glass of my aquarium..It has a Blue base crossback arowana and a BD ray..I don't know how to get rid of them.. please help

Maybe detritus worms or planaria. Probably some left over food somewhere in ur tank. Gotta remove any after feedings immediately. Gravel vacuum etc. it’ll slowly reduce and go away once you do this.

Probably detritus worms harmless and will appear when you overfeed.

And are there any fishes that eat these guys like pleco..loach.. flagtail??

I've heard that very small fish will eat them.I've also heard that the presence of such worms possibly suggests rather lax tank/filtration maintenance.

It can help but u gotta do ur part for tank husbandry.

Small fish will eat. Large may not touch. Like flies to an elephant.

Lax tank meaning??

Lax tank meaning??

A few things...possibly having too much bioload in the tank for the filter to properly deal with,overfeeding,not enough water changes,cleaning/rinsing filter media.
