Detritus worm mayhem

Post Body

I have a betta fish in a 20 gal planted aquarium with a few plants. I recently noticed the betta has injured itself somehow so I dosed Melafix to prevent infection.

A few minutes later I noticed an explosion of detritus worms swimming around. I'm talking thousands. They had subsided a bit by the time I took this video (also really hard to get them in focus, but I promise you it was bananas)

I removed and quarantined the betta when this happened, as she was eating the worms non stop. I didn't want her to overeat or get sick.

Should I have been concerned? Has anyone else experienced this with Melafix? I occasionally see one or two detritus worms swimming around the tank, but never anything like this. Should I be worried?
