I have these little white worms in my aquarium there are thousands of them and you can only see them when you stir up the substrate, how do I get rid of them and are they bad for my fish.Image1485122585.641042.jpg
 
Stop over feeding your fish and do larger water changes.
They are in abundance because there is food for them to be in abundance.
Even if your fish eat all you feed them it is still turned to waste and must be dealt with.
Possibly just one or the other of my suggestions would work, but I think both may be appropriate?
 
Also, I have three oscars in this 125 and two tinfoil barbs and two red hook silver dollars and 1 common pleco
 
Those are large 'waste creators'.
Weekly if not bi weekly wc may help also.
I bet they just keep eating if you let em!
