looks like black worms or blood worms is that what you feed your fish?
 
Oh. I had those in my turtle tank! It's a type of bug larvae. They start to multiply! I reccomend ENTIRELY removing everything in your tank and cleaning it very good! Get a calcium bone and they will all go to it. I hate them! But, they start to fly after like 1 month. They are very annoying little bugs!

Ya when I fed my turtles worms a couple times that happened. But, it happened a couple times when my air conditioner was in my window with a little 1/2" gap between the window and bugs flew in and laid eggs in my tank filters. We had some bug guy come over and I forgot what but it was a type of bug. They sealed up the Windows and fixed it all.

hmmmm, well be pretty hard for a bug to get into my tank with the glass and lid sealed on my top....im betting money on that it is left over blood worms that didnt make it to the filter and got glue/pasted to the algea on my rocks and etc lol ...
