[meateater540]

Aproxamitely 1cm long. I have no clue what these are, i woke up today and they were there. What do i do? and what are they?

i have had those for awhile too. they're virtually harmless as far as i've been able to tell, and i think they're called planaria. they come as a result of overfeeding fish. the best way to get rid of them is either to feed less or i noticed they also died when i was treating for ich one time

i believe that planaria are black..... tell a little more about the worm.... then maybe i can help more..

Well they were sticking to the glass this morning, now i can't find any of them, so i think there in the substrate. There were alot of them though, and now i can't see any of em. They were white, about half an inch long... I was just wondering if there goona kill my fish or not.

Planaria/Nematodes. They are flatworms/roundworms that result from overfeeding or underfiltering your tank. Feed less, and clean your substrate more often, and they will go away.
