Ugh sooo! I have a 30g tank with good levels, and one messy larger fish. He eats all of his food BUT he is a parrotfish so hes messy! Anyway i saw on my glass this tiny tiny worm, its pretty rounded so i was thinking it is rhabdocoela? Also one of the pictures its almost impossible to get a picture of these micro almost look like mites or the tiniest water bugs ever, but they are light enough i can see them moving. What do you think they are? What can I do?

Looks like a planaria to me.

Maybe planaria? Does it have one rounded end and one end that is arrow shaped? Sorta would look like <|===D lol IDK if you can see what I'm trying to say.

Sounds like planaria and this video talks you through some fixes and what the mites might be.

Thank you guys! I thought it probably was planaria but i didnt see much of a distinctive arrow head, but it looks like the one in the video! I will watch the video and get a game plan
