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.

Could they be planaria?

Probably not. I'm guessing nematodes. Harmless

Looked at images and description of nematodes and it does match the ones I have. Thanks guys

 

[shrimpcrazy00]

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.
