I NEED HELP with my shrimps.

Hello,
I have an emergency in with my shrimps.
I have a temporary tank with all my shrimps. I finish my “new” tank this last Sunday (is a cycled tank) and I’m transfer my shrimps. I notice a lot of skinny brown worms swimming on the water of the temporary tank and I accidentally put some of those worms in my tank.
I already bought no planaria from Amazon and will arrives tomorrow.
I’m never used no plantaria before and I’m really stress out about this outcome.
I still have a lot of shrimps including a lot of baby ones to transfer and I don’t know what to do. I know that the new tank has worms because I saw a few swimming.
please, help me.

yeah, that's why I like the new guppy fry. If they look like a pair of eyes with a tail, then your shrimp fry are probably safe . As they begin to grow they get ravenous.. so great for eating worms, as well as shrimp fry 
If you tank is big enough and heavily planted, your shrimplets have a better chance.

The shrimp will be ok with no planaria. I have usde it in the past. It will jack up any fancy snails you have in there like nerites, etc.. doesnt do anything to bladder snails, they seem bullet proof. Do the major water changes they say to do and remove any fancy snails while treating. It took around 6 months for my tank to be safe for my nerites again. Now, if those aren't planaria, (doesnt look like it to me), then I don't know if it will do anything to the worms.
