tiny white worms

[kieranth]

Hi,

Hoping someone can confirm what type of worm / creature this is.
There very small only about 1 or 2 mm in length but there's lots of them.
They move over the aquarium glass changing direction, they also appear to be in the water column.

I have a video of them moving but it wont allow me to upload it here

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks.

Just flatworms. Totally normal and harmless in small numbers. Huge amounts are problematic if they die off as they can cause an ammonia spike, but a small number like that are fine

Like Noodle said, a few are fine. More means you likely need to change water & vacuum the poo & debris out better & more often. Don't use any chemical means to kill them...again, as NC said that can cause problems.
