Worms In Tank

[Tolan]

A month or so ago I discovered that there were a bunch of little white worms that lived in the gravel. I did a complete water changed, got new gravel, and cleaned the tank and every thing that was in it. A few weeks after that I was doing a gravel cleaning, and there are still worms. Does anyone know what type of worms they are and how to get rid of them?

yes, planaria. I had these in my shrimp tank awhile ago. Do a good gravel vac and water change. Cut your feedings back and they should go away.
