Planaria are usually on the glass, it's stylaria that swim in an "s" wiggle. Both are a sign of overfeeding, lack of filter or substrate cleaning etc but not really harmful.
Sokoly, with the amount you feed you may need to do cleaning & maintenance more frequently. On my discus tank I use prefilters to keep "bits" out of the filter & rinse them every day or 2. It's also bare bottom so nothing gets trapped in substrate. I had a thin layer of sand but bare is so much easier. I do a water change 30-50% daily for my juvies.

), so there wasn't much detritus in the gravel. I cleaned the tank which did have a bit of an algae issue, the little wormies did seem to be eating that, so probably that's how they came to become so numerous, but the gravel hardly had any detritus in it. Oh well, fishy died, tank has been taken down and will be stored away until I get enough money saved up to turn it into a mini reef. The only thing I can think of as to how they got in there is my using the glass scrubber in my other tank which has live plants, and all sort of buggies come on plants, and transferred the critters when I used the scrubber in the ten gallon. I don't see the wormies in the big tank, but there are more fish and they probably eat them, whereas the betta was alone, sick and not eating, and the numbers grew.
