Looking for an ID on some aquatic worms

I've noticed that in a tank I've filled with pond water there are now many (several hundred, at least) tiny white worms of about 1 mm or so in length. Many of them stay vertical (like an "l") though some will go horizontal. Most stay near the surface though there is a column that extends a few inches below the surface. Any idea what they could be? (I'm posting here in "aquatic worms" though I imagine they could be aquatic insect larvae.)

Thanks!
