Hi. I have a big problem .. There are a lot of worms in my aquarium. they are small and white. I cleaned aquarium. I changed the water completely. I washed sand and filter with boiling water. Even if I cleaned basking area. For 2 days did not have the worms. But today there are more worms in the aquarium. I do not know what to do. Would you please help me, about to destroy the worms

Do you mean "worms"? I can't tell what they are from the picture, however I would keep everything bare after you clean it. Add things in once you can tule them out as the source of the worms. Also, I would throw away the filter media.
What else do you have in the tank? I once put some large stones from my garden into the tank and the next week the glass was covered in little tube worms. I had to boil/bleach everything to get rid of them. It was a pain. They were unsightly but harmless to the turtle.
If you can find some temporary housing for the turtle you can buy a bunch of feeder minnows to eat the worms in the tank too, once they are done you have nice fat fish for the turtle
Thank you for your suggestions I boiled everything in the aquarium but it didn't work. As I said, rough ray ate all worms Thanks to rough ray, i got rid of the worms
