Hi I have yabbies and I get similar things, the white worms and bugs. I
think the black bugs are the baby form of the worms (or parasites) but, I
was told that those parasites are harmless, but I dont know if they are the
same bugs. The bugs will disappear in colder weather. but if they are a real
problem, you can get a special liquid to put in your tank, but it is risky,
so I dont advise using it.
