It's going, just keep feeding it, and don't change water until the Ammonia and nitrite both drop to 0.....Then do a big water change, and you can add fish....

This is unbelievable. Now I have planaria! I think it's from the fish flakes I used initially to add ammonia. By the way, I now also have two pieces of raw shrimp in the tank.

Anyway, is there anything I can do to minimize these creatures while the tank is cycling?

I wouldn't worry too much about planaria--your fish should make quick work of them when the time comes...
