I find those in my blackworms all the time. Don't quote me but I'm pretty sure they're fine. My fish just eat them

I'm pretty sure they prey on the blackworms. I've dumped them in my tanks with worms many times before. Never any issues, haven't seen them on the fish or anything.

I called the vendor I got them from on here about the leeches he said they don't prey on fish.

Not at all. They're doing perfectly fine. My tiny 2" Goonch has even eaten them himself

Agreed it's just flatworm nothing to worry about. Not a leech, don't nuke the system.
