There are little white worms attached to my snail and I saw some floating. I vacuumed the gravel. I plan on doing a water change in the morning. But should I be concerned?
Also, when I do a water change they like float all over the place because they get stirred up. I read they're only dangerous to eggs and I have 5 platys so I'm scared if one of them lays eggs that won't be good. How can I treat this?They are really tiny white worms. They attach to the fish sometimes but they come right off. I read it could be from overfeeding? I only feed them enough pellets for each fish then like 2 extra.
They don't have triangular heads though. I have to try to get a picture of one. They're so small.Look up Planaria. That is what this sounds like
Here is a AA Article about it.

Okay, I feel like an idiot, but I'm a rookie at this so spare me lol. Well I seen one floating around and I scooped it up in my net, and when I took it out is was brown. So I panicked over nothing because I realize now that it is feces. It looks white/pale tan in the tank then outside of the tank it's brown. Thank you though for all your help!Look up Planaria.
