WORMS IN TANK, NEED IDENTIFICATION.

[FishPal]

Hello friends, I was feeding last night when my focus zoned in on these little worms on my glass. Looked like tiny hair or fuzz at first. They're all over!! Thousands. The snails you see in the pics are only the size of a bb, so these are like a mm or 2 in length, very very small. I assume their head is the round end as they move in that direction. Don't move like a caterpillar, but just go their route. Don't see eyes, or pointed head. Majority were on glass, some free swimming. Detritus, Planaria, Infusoria Idk, I need help before they kill things if they are harmful & if they could be harmful to me as well. Couldn't upload videos, but if you need anything specific to identify, I'll try my best! Ty in advance!

To me they look like Rhabdocoela worms....if I'm right, they're harmless and just eat detritus and decomposing plant matter etc

Ah, those guys. They're helpful in their own harmless way, as they tell you you're overfeeding.

I have been overfeeding lately bc the baby snails and 6 adults and 2 big plecos, so that does make sense, I just saw them and knew it could either be fine, or serious haha. The day before, my dwarf Gourami passed away from swim bladder issues, but when seeing these I thought, maybe they could be the culprit. Ty!!!
