What is this!?!?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
It looks like a parasitic worm that I removed from a tumor that one of my fish had a few years ago,was it alive when you found it?
 
If it doesn't appear to be a parasite maybe it's a fly larva of some type? I get them in my filters occasionally, I just pick em out and feed em to my smaller fish.

Maybe chop it in half and see if they will eat it? Haha.
 
I think it looks like a Millipede.....can u get better pics?
I just cleaned the filter and took it outside to drain the water out of the canister. I live in indiana and there is no way any worm was alive out side.... I did however set the filter pads on the cement and used my nozzle on my hose to blast the build up out of it.
