Ok so idk if its normal or something to worry about but I have seen itty bitty little tiny white specks kinda like worms.. are these normal? And before someone asks for pictures I don't have a camera that will take good enough pictures to capture these lil bugs... I have seen them in youtube videos of peoples zoomed in shots of fish/shrimp and even in still images of peoples pictures on here.

Probably not. I'm guessing nematodes. Harmless

But it says some of them are parasites that can harm my fish/shrimp especially the fry I hope to have sooner or later...

Unlikely. 99.9% of the nemos that live in our aquariums are harmless.
