Umm, I have an oscar named Magma and i have an urgent question. (wasn't so sure where to put this so im sorry if im violating any rules, a cichild forum would be helpful) I just noticed that there were tiny strands of what appeared to be string sticking in the tank. When i looked closer, they were wriggling, like worms. they are pure white. magma doesnt seem to be acting abnormal and neither is his companion mr.pleco. i've hear of hole in the head syndrome in which worms are sticking out of his head, but he seems fine. thanks for any help.

[EDIT]

i just read off the internet that these things might be planaria, harmless as it was described. ill post more pictures later, i want to know what you guys think.

Sounds like planaria to me. Pesky little buggers. I had them once and ditched the tank because of it. Pics would still help tho.
