Could be an insect larvae of some sort, if they got into the bag.

I wonder if that is what actually killed the pleco? There was blood coming out from his private part.
As for the bag, I emptied the contents & tried to find more, but could not see anything moving.

I doubt a bug larvae would have hurt a pleco- many people cultivate things like mealworms for fish as a high quality food. It doesn't resemble any dangerous parasite I have ever seen a photo of - it's just a leech or a larvae, most likely. Pure coincidence.

Re: What is this?
Any ideas as to where it may have come from?

I wouldn't worry about it. If you are particularly concerned, you could contact the company with a photograph of the creature.

Stuff flies in. It's probably just a version of finding a bug.

I dumped out the bag & couldn't see any more. So am not sure it came from the food.
