Tiny White Worms on Glass???
I just noticed that there are extremely small white worms on my aquarium glass close to the gravel. Are they some kind of parasite? Should I be concerned?

Are you sure they're worms? It's possible they're copepods, which are good. But if they're white flatworms (larger than copepods with a forked tail), that would be a pest. There's plenty of ways to get rid of flatworms-- chemicals (flatworm exit) or natural (some wrasse's like the six line)

It could be snail babies. I have them in my little tank at the moment. But a picture would be best for ID
