Hey Mike corvettekid! I bet your worms are Aeolosomatids. Do a www.google.com search or come read the brief bit at www.skepticalaquarist.com .

I don't think your fish looking bad has anything to do with these larvae. I would look elsewhere for causes of the fishes' malaise.
Cool, thanks for the trail to follow up on! They sound like tubifex worms from some of the discriptions. In an old Angel tank I had, they grew so dense that they'd make clusters (lil balls) of worms so dense it would look red. They have never seemed to bother anything at all and I'd have fun busting up the gang and watching them all clamour to the top again. The angels didn't bother to eat them, but BOY does this topwater minnow love them
