I'm pretty sure they are nematodes but I haven't found a shrimp safe cure besides cleaning but I did that and they just come back.restarting is not an answer. learn to take care of them.
1) ID what you have
2) search for treatment on forum.

fenbendazole is common to treat worms in aquarium
No when I scrap them they just move away or on to the scraper. They are out night and day lol I'm pretty sure they are nematodesWhen you try to scrape them do they shrink into little balls and fall back to the substrate? Do they only come out at night?
If you answered Yes than you have Planaria. Look up how to treat them. There is a dog dewormer that I hear is effective against them. I don't remember the name.
No its the tiny white specks in the middle and top of the picture about 15 of them or so... My phone takes crappy pictures if I zoom too much they are just shapeless fuzziness lol.Oh I was looking at the long line in the 3 oclock position in your picture.
Going on 7monthssssThat's just the life of a shrimp tank. FIsh eat them. Shrimp don't. Let's you know you have a healthy environment- and fenben won't touch 'em. heh
How long have you had your tank set up?
That's how they move its very snake like and if they get knocked off the glass they go ape wiggling around like crazy that's when its really a s shape.Do they wiggle constantly in an "S" shape? That's what nematodes do.
