	Tiny White Worms!
songbird1963 Enthusiast Posts: 238 Votes: 0 Registered: 09-Apr-2004	Can anyone tell me what they are so I can get rid of them? They are crawling on the glass and a few are floating around. I have 3 tanks that have them! Thanks

You most likely have planaria, a small white worm that loves uneaten fish food hidden deep in the gravel. They are harmless so don't worry about them attacking your fish. I've had these little guys a few times and 10% daily water changes, gravel vacing and feeding less always gets rid of them. You should watch your fish eat and any food they don't eat should be netted out after two minutes. Another tip with feeding is to take what you would normally feed them at one time, put it in the cap and feed that to them in smaller portions over 10 minutes.
