    I have these in my shrimp tank too. Harmless IMO. Just take care not to overfeed your lifestock and these will be gone in no time. They will become fish food

    after some research, some websites indicated these tiny worms could be planaria which are non-parasitic in nature. Apparently, my guppies had been feeding off these worms for the past week which i did not feed them. Worms almost cleared!!
