Worm like things on the glass...?

[andrejacobs81]

Hi,

I have recently started seeing these white worm like creatures on the glass of my small aquarium. They move around and I think they are only on the glass (for now). They might also be multiplying or atleast appear to be getting more.

Any ideas of what this might be and how I can get rid of them?

Sounds like planaria. Do you have any fish as they love 'em. They usually appear when there is waste food in the tank or new tanks when there is no competition yet.

Hi,

Thanks for the advice, after doing some more research it definetly looks like planaria.

I was overfeeding the fish a bit and skipped a weekly water change.
