Few weeks back I installed filtration system in my new outside pond. Yesterday while cleaning the filtration system I noticed about 1/4" long dark red worms. They are only in the filtration system. I did not see any single of those in the water.

What are those and how do I get rid of them?

Could they possibly be mosquito larvae??

Anything in the pond itself will prob become fish food.
