I have a 20 gallon tank. About 2 months going. Was 6 tiger barbs and
6 neon tetra's. Just lost a barb. I did a 20% water change. Now I
see very very small like thread worms probably around 1/4 to 3/8 inch.
White with NO tail. They are basically the diameter of a very small
hair or pin needle. They appear like a hair, but then start moving
all over in the water, then calm again. They do not appear to be on
the sidewalls of the tank. I would guess about 200 or so tiny little
hair worms.

What can I do? Will they die off themselves? Medicines? There are 4
different plants in the aquarium, I have no idea what they are. 4
small snails.
HELP!
Many thanks ladies and gents. BTW, Yes I am new to this.

Just add a few catfish, such at Corys, armored catfish, or a loach
they will pretty much make a snack out of these pesky little critters,
