I have two planted tanks now since the oto has its own home and the the two cories and a betta share an other. But in both tanks since they have been planted i have noticed more and more little creatures like these craly white worms thathave like twotiny antena on the end of their head and other things that i thought where baby cories but guess they are not. Should these be removed or are they part of the natural habitant.

if they need to be removed what do i use to remove them?
 
I don't know what the worms are from the description given. It's possible they are some form of planaria, which are usually associated with over feeding.

Do the fish eat these worms?
 
well the otto tank had it the worst and he eats algae disks.

as for the other tank dont see the worms but little tiny things.

As for over feeding im pretty good on that and the cories are little vacuums.

I switched the oto tank to sand though that wait I can get at the left over algae disks better. maybe that was causing it.
