I know there are good worms to have in the filter, I was just wondering if these are it.

i had them in my waterfall for a while i would brush them into the flow and the fish would feast on them.

I did the same thing, the fish spent a half hour by the water fall afterwards.

I believe they are tubiflex worms.

Tubiflex worms:
These worms live on the banks of sewage ponds and are found for sale from time to time. To clean them and keep them alive, they must be put in a pan and left under a gentle stream of cold water. Do not feed large amounts of this food as they can establish a colony in your gravel. Given in small quantities they are an excellent food source.

They are a pain in the neck to get rid of and cost money at the pet store as fish food! LOL

I say feed them to the fish when you find them and be (sort of) glad you have them! LOL

BTW... they feed on excrement... so it is a win-win situation!
