It started 2days after I fed my fishes "Tilapia fillet"... 2 kinds of worms suddenly appeared... I can't take a clear shot on the worms coz they're too small... What is it and what are the basic things I should do?

theres a few things it could be. you haven't seen them attached to your fish have you? really pics are essential. at least try to google images of what you saw
I had a similar problem, but the worms/parasites/whatever the F they were, did not attach to my fish. I did a complete water change and washed everything in the tank. And I mean everything. From the plastic plants to the gravel. Once I did the change they were gone. I had to carefully inspect my 45 gal for a week or so to assure they were gone.
Good luck...

not to be mean, but that can harm your bacteria and if you really clean all the surfaces in the tank, you could cause your tank to go back into the start of cycling. that would be far more dangerous than these "worms".WarrendaFish;3144681; said:
They are most likely planeria that live in the substrate and eat decaying material they generally stay in the substrate UNLESS theres a population expolsion due to an abundance of unconsumed foods.To clear up this mess quit feeding for a cpl of days
and do a good gravel vacuuming.this should knock back the population to normal levels.To prevent this from happening again DO NOT OVERFEED and vacuum the substrate weekly-Anne
