Horrible Little Parasites

[swampy]

i have these horrid little white parasites in my tank. they have been there now for atleast 3 months. been doing water change once a week ,tryed using liquisil to get rid but to no avail.they cling to the tank somtimes making it hard to see the fish,any ideas of what these are and how to nuke them would be appreciated.

Need more info really. Are they like little white worms? If so they're probably Planaria. They're harmless to fish but I have read that they're toxic to shrimp.

They usually multiply in gravel substrates when there is a lot of uneaten food and/or when the gravel isn't vacuumed very thoroughly - and they also attach to the glass.

I think the best way of getting rid of them is thorough vacuuming of the gravel - on a daily basis if necessary - for a while.

Only other white crittur I can think of - is Cyclops.
What do they look like?

It does sound like the Planaria and they are from overfeeding. You need to do a major cut back on your feeding for now and keep up with your water changes and vacuuming! HTH
