Brown Worms In My Tank!

[ozgirl_bkk]

Hello,

I have a 30 gallon tank with a couple of otos, four cory's, two halfbeaks and some neon tetras. After vaccuming my gravel today I found about a dozen small brown worms in the bottom of the bucket. They were flat in shape, about 0.4 centimetres long. Does anyone know what they are? Are they a danger to fish? And what i should do to get rid of them?

Thanks!

sounds like planarian worms to me
or nematode worms they are non
parasitic flat worm and are nothing
to worry about they normally come about
due to over feeding you need to up your
gravel cleaning
