Worms?

[Dmnicholas139]

Hi folks,

Can anyone help me figure out what these are? My tank has cherry shrimp, ramshorn snails and neon tetras, these look like worms of some sort as they appear to move?

They appear to be some sort of invertebrate. Look almost like Planaria but hard to tell from picture.

From the picture they Almost look like scatches on the glass but I'm pretty sure their not

Second look an they almost look like hydra. Would be nice to get a closer picture.

Planaria or common detritus worms. I've often wondered how things like these appear. I have cyclops in a couple of my tanks. Nothing new has been added in the way of fish or plants in a long time so I rule out that possibility. I suspect frozen food. Freezing doesn't kill everything. I also leave my fish room window open in the summer to deal with heat and I wonder if weird spores of things blow in but more likely in food.

Alaska has a good number apparently.
On the darker side of resurrection, there's a looming threat from global warming that is likely going to bring back many supposedly dead bacteria and virus's.
These were frozen into the soil under, or in, the permafrost many thousands of years ago. The problem of course is that the permafrost isn't perma anymore. It's vanishing and the germs that mankind just has no biological defence against due to no personal contact with, are quite possibly going to reappear and bite our arses. Covid? Hell, some of these things could be much worse.
