Tank pests

[jsparkman]

I've searched several sites but can't find anything on this. Several of my tanks have teeny tiny white wormlike things crawling on the glass. They're less than 1/16" long. I've tried several medications for parasites but nothing seems to work. The fish don't seem infected by them. Any ideas?

They come from over feeding. read that somewhere on here.

Also read that they are harmless and fish will eat them.

ounds like planaria - as said harmles but would indicated overfeeding and/or a lack of tank maintenance...

i've had them massively in my 20 gallon. i cut down feeding and they went away. Some fish will eat them, so will snails. I have a few now in my 5 gallon. I doubt i'm overfeeding as there is only 1 betta in there and i make sure no food drops to the bottom but oh well... I'll be adding more life in there soon so they should disappear
