In my 10-gallon fry tank there are hundreds/thousands of TINY white worms that seem to be "inching" along the sides of the glass. My fry are eating them, and I'm quite worried. I have put a life-gaurd tab in. Does anyone know what these are? What can I do?

Just found out that they are planaria worms :blink:. Harmless. Supposively. Is this true?
 
Yeah sounds like it's probably planaria.
They're very harmless and your fish will eat them. The worms are nothing to worry about, but you have to figure out why they've appeared.
Are you feeding too much (lots not getting eatin), is there an ammonia reading in the water?
 
do u feed ur fry liquidfry because most of the time the worms come from that. i don't think its nothing to worry about i thought the longer there in the tank the more likely they can catch a disease
