Look like planaria. Increase ur tank maintenance and remove any leftover food. Should be gone but if not they are harmless.

90% water change.

Hello; I can see a 90% WC but there is a risk to going that big all at once. Sometimes better to work up to the bigger WC.

Well, 70-80. That tank looks bad. As long as you use Prime and don't have a temp. spike and the filter is bio loaded I would do a max water change.

Hello; The caution about going to a big % WC is for those who have not been doing them before. If only small % WC been the norm then a sudden big WC can be a problem. Can have big pH swings and such. Might be safer to build up to high % WC over a few days.

I doubt that you would be able to see them if they were germs.

I don't know what exactly what it is please helpme.

I'll certainly try.....do a sizable water change,as was previously suggested,vacuum the gravel for broken down waste matter,wipe the interior glass with a sponge or cloth and clean out your filter.
While I am not exactly sure what those creatures are I suspect they are a harmless sort whose presence is usually associated with less than pristine aquarium conditions.

No,I don't see a need for those measures.In case I missed it could you give a description of your tank......size,filtration,number of fish and feeding schedule?

Seriously you have been given good advice. Clean up the tank!

If you do that and weeks later you still have this you can come back and ask for further help.
