From THe info I found its a Reddish worms, 10 to 20mm long with "milling or cutter head"-like mouth parts
its a
Nematodes of the genus Camallanus

Which is a freshwater worm???

Are you sure it's not a brissle worm?

 

[tmcghee]

It may be an intestinal worm from one of the fish.

Could you get a picture?
