I got a little behind on my filter maintance (let it sit for an extra week) and when I was cleaning it (xp3) out I noticed little red worms in the finest filter pad. the only live food that I ever fed were black worms and that was a very small amount (maybe 10 worms fed 2 months ago) I discarded the fine filter pad and washed the first three sponges (I didn't wash the bio media of coarse) I have never seen this in any of my other tanks (which get fed blackworms regularly) does anyone have any ideas? could this be a parasitic worm that went free swimming and got sucked up before it got a host? it seemed a little big for this (maybe one cm.)
(the tank is a 60 gallon very heavily planted tank the fish are 2 calisa lalia (dwarf gourami) 4 otto's 4 SAE's 4 julli corydora's and a german blue ram)
