White worms

[Swampman]

Hi I have little white worms in my tank. Could be Planaria .They are not thin. I have a hunch they are from over feeding. I have BNP and 2 swordtails along with plants. This is a 10 gal tank. I do have a plastic suction device that claims to be for 10 gal tanks but it is too tall to start a suction. I also have a battery power gravel cleaner but again too tall for tank. Any ideas to clean the bottom and get rid of these worms? Thanks

Could be detritus worms too.

Remove the vac part and use the tube to suck up gunk.

Hold both ends of the tube and submerge it until full of water.

Keep one tube in the water...other end plugged with your thumb, lift out and drop into the 5 gallon bucket/remove thumb so water suction continues and suck up what you do not want in the tank.

You can do one bucket at a time and add back new dechlorinated temperature matched water into the tank and repeat - removing as much as you want, until you are happy.
