Unknown worms

[Jbenson54]

Hello everyone,

I’ve been cycling my tank for some rili shrimp but have found these white little worms all over the tank. So I snagged a few and got some decent pictures of them under a microscope. At first I thought they were detritus worms but under the microscope they don’t have the hairs on their sides. Does anyone have any ideas what they could be?

No idea, but I'm thinking we won't get the 'need a better pic' reply

Did a search on google and they came up as flukes. Any change thats what they are?

Did you end up doing any treatment for this or finding out? I am reading through old threads and it seems detritus or not, little white worms breeding in the tank are very common in shrimp and snail tanks - I've now got them in my new shrimp tank. Flukes are parasites and need meds so just curious if you sorted it out
