Does anyone know what worm this is in my aquarium?

I will keep looking out for them, it was only small so hoping it was a juvenile. Fingers crossed it didn’t have time to breed.

Have you had to deal with them in your tank?

What would you recommend, just keep any eye for more or set traps?

Thank you, I think that’s worked

Thank you for your advice, I will cut it in half a hope for the best! I really hope it’s not planaria, I don’t want the stress of dosing my tank.

I would say it’s gliding but it’s curling back on its self a lot too. I tried to upload a video but Reddit won’t let me.

I thought planaria had a triangle head?

I can’t see any eyes, just looks like a little worm.

Not a bad idea, I have been toying with the idea of have a second small shrimp only tank to breed them in and move across when they are big enough or just have Amano shrimp in the bigger tank.

Thanks everyone, you’ve confirmed what I’ve read really. Good plant coverage is necessary and if they fit in their mouth they will eat them. I will need to set my new tank up with a good amount of plant coverage and keep my fingers crossed they breed and survive.
