I was looking in to the bottom of my BB tank and a noticed a bunch of little white thing that look like little white worms but small?

Any ideas?

Maybe just planaria. Do you have uneaten food down there? They normally develop from that. I have em too.

Yup, planaria. Throttle back on feeding and keep the tank clean. Wiping down the entire inside of the tank prior to performing a water change will GREATLY reduce them.

Clean your filters out, rinse them well. Any collected debris will be heaven for them to reproduce.

I'd yank that sucker out and clean it good.

I don't think the planaria is going to eat the fry. :) If you have fry and they seem to be doing well then I wouldn't worry about a few planaria. Keep the tank as clean as you can, do lots of wc's and don't worry.
