The picture isn't clear, could they be detritus worms or planaria?

i don’t think it’s either of them. they aren’t in the water only on the part of filter that isn’t in the water, a couple fell in the water and they jumped! they also seem to be too small to be either of those

    you got a cooler :D Thats so cool! i normally chill their water down if it gets too warm with clean dechlorinated water when they were in their bigger tanks. i'll need to get one that can work with two tanks at some point. or find them for cheap and get two quiet ones. since im in an apartment.
