Dude Dude DUDE!!!!!!
so since the tank is cycling i was gonna do a top off and i notice these small little worm looking things , honestly they look more like maggots is this normal? never seen em before i only see them where the water has already evaporated i dont see any in the actual water which is weird

the raw shrimp i put in is all nasty looking so im pretty sure thats going ok ... but could it be making those maggot things?

am i worrying about something thats totally normal?

Looks like flatworms. I think people use flatworm exit to nuke 'em. Follow directions, and make sure to have lots of water for a change out. Make sure to siphon out as much of them as possible, since they do release toxins when they die.
 
what i thought was interesting is that i dont see any in the water none one actually got hit with water current and was just floating endlessly thrue the water until the filter got em

and there not flat ( i dunno if all flatworms are flat) but more

i removed what i saw but should i worry?
 
I think those are flatworms for sure. There are so many different types. It's hard to say exactly what kind they are. But they are flatworms.
