I get these thin, reddish brown worms especially in outdoor livefood bins that have Japanese maple leaves falling into them. They look lots like the tubifex worms I used to buy ages ago....but they aren't in 'filthy water systems'. I usually have daphnia in the same bins. They are NOT bloodworms...and they either came in with live plants or occurred naturally in another way because I didn't seed the bins with them.
