ive got worms

[fish_newbie]

my tank just finished its fishless cycle and this morning i noticed that there are alot of little white worms crawling around on the glass. they're really small and have a round head ..i heard that they could be nematodes or whatever but isnt that caused by overfeeding? i dont feed at all ..theres no fish! but yeah anyways im wondering where they could of came from and if i should have to worry about them messing with the my fish when i add them in

Nematodes (and their free-swimming others, planaria) are an unsightly, yet harmless creature. They could come in from anywhere. Plants you added recently?

Not to worry, just scrub them off, they'll be no bother, and some fish will eat them too!
