hi
i have a 150 gallon tank with 1 albino oscar in,ive had him quite a while without any problems,ammonia 0,nitrite 0,ph 8,nitrate 20..hes totally healthy and begs for food every single time i look at him :wub: :wub: i feed him cichlid sticks and lance fish and cockles,obviously not all at the same time,but this week ive noticed tiny white worms all over his glass,they dont seem to be affecting him in any way but theres hundreds of them,especially when i turn his light on in the morning,,help guys im really worried how should i treat the tank to get rid of them :/ i trust you guys so tell me what to do :sad:
 
Probably them harmless worms through over feeding, do a gravel vac to remove the uneaten food from the bottom.
 
Hi dolly_daydream :)

They are probably planaria, which are not dangerous themselves, but which often indicate that there is uneaten food in the tank.

Try giving it a good cleaning and bottom vacuuming and feed the prepared food lightly for awhile. Often this is all that is necessary to get rid of them. :D
