You need to identify them first. If they're on the bichirs, they're probably macrodactylus worms. Only way I know to get rid of them is with meds. If they're just random worms on the glass, they're likely planaria or nematodes. Usually a sign of excess food. Keep your tank cleaner and they'll disappear.
Yeah! I did a big w.c and its gone. I think i overfed thm. Cz usually after feeding those 'wiggling things' will reappear. Lol
I got them bcz I had a slice of tilapia behind my overflow...they live under the gravel

The nematodes that eat on excess foods will crawl on fish as well but do no damage, there accually beneficial to your tank because the eat excess food and they don't affect your beneficial bacteria. Although if you have them its usually a sign you've fed too much, I've had them in all my tanks though even if I don't overfeed they just don't ever go away for me but I don't ever see them except after water changes sometimes.
