It is not from feeder fish. I'm assuming this is a standard case of planaria. If so, this is caused by overfeeding (over-abundance of organic waste in the water column) and a poor cleaning regimen. Cut back on the food and start vacuuming the substrate every couple of days. In stirring it up you may get some hazy white water, which is a hetertrophic bacterial bloom, but that too should dissolve within a week.

If you are impatient, you can always try salt at 1 tbs per 5 gallon providing you have no snails, invertebrates or scaleless fish. Another harsher option is formalin.
