My tank is 5x2x2 , Barebottom, Two powerheads with two 5ft OHF.
I do WC everyweek (40%). Already replaced white filter media but i still see some white worms. I feed my fishes once a day with MP only and i scoop all uneaten foods.
I had the same problem a year ago they are planarians reduce feeding do water changes the worms will reduce as water quality improves best of luck
You got a dirty tank,
when you clean really get into your gravel.\
The worms can disappear after a week, but you need to keep up with cleaning often or else they will come back.

Apparently its not enough, or your filtration isnt cutting it... i notice my tank doesnt have worms...
at least they aren't deaedly
but yeah reg. tank cleaning will do wonders
, those worms also come from water being placed in when giving fish feeders
but yeah reg. tank cleaning will do wonders, those worms also come from water being placed in when giving fish feedersi used to buy ghost shrimp as a treat fot my cichlids and i was looking at one closely one time and noticed a long white worm about an inch long living inside the shrimp. clearly it was parasitic and i quit using shrimp as feeders really quick. i looked closely on the sides of the tank and i noticed a few worms on it. i used the jungle parasite medication and it cleared them out within a week. it probably isnt a bad idea to throw some salt in there as well about i tsp a gallon is what i usually use whenever i have any doubt of infection or parasite
