Idk what those are. I just noticed these 5 minutes ago. Is it normal for tanks to get these or are they going to kill my fishies?
Theyre tiny, theyre only like 2-3mm long, but i can see that theyre segmented, greenish in color and have a black head.

If you let the black heads touch the fish, they will die
