black worms in a freshwater tank?

I have had a freshwater tropical fish tank for about 6 months now. We have an assortment of guppies, tetras, and catfish. The oast two weekends when I went to change the filter cartridge(carbon refillable cartridges) there have been littl black worms on the top half of the cartridge. They don’t seem to be bothering the fish, but I’m not sure what they are or where they’re coming from. I have tried getting a brand new cartridge out and cleaning the filter out. I also vaccuumed the gravel, but the worms keep coming back. Has anyone else had this problem and how did you fix it?

Feeder Goldfish or Feeder Guppies?

I want to save some from being eaten by bigger fish, so I asked my friend to get me a tank and feeder fish. But what kind, guppies or goldies? What do you think? And no, I DON’T CARE IF GOLDFISH ARE MESSY. Which one?
Ooh, and will a 3 1/2 to 4 in. gold gourami eat tiny feeder fish, or are gouramis too small?
