Worm Infestation

[anitstuk123]

Hello Everyone, in my new 10 gallon tanks that I am currently nitrogen cycling, I am observing some small white worms swimming around. There is around
2 to 3 of these worms and I was wondering if I should be worried?

Pics? Could have just come off some of the plants you got off me, in that case it could be some Mosquito larvae, though not white. Don’t believe I have planaria in my ponds... Noticed any daphnia?

Not Daphnia

Does it look like this mate?

If there is a zoomed out photo I could confirm but yes it looks quite similiar to that

If it is then don’t get shrimp. Look up planaria cherry shrimp.

Once you get your fish inside they will eat the detritus worms/ planaria up

If planaria then harmless to fish. Increase ur water changes and remove any dead food.
