Lots of things are wrong

1. You are feeding too much. The worms are thriving from left over food. When you saw them you should have stopped feeding your fish and waited for them to eat them. The you could resume feeding them at half of what you are used to.

2. Your feeding too much has caused the water parameters to go off. The spikes in nitrites and ammonia are toxic to your fish as well and the spikes happening constantly from feeding to much weaken you fish and leave them susceptible to other problems.

3. Your cleaning the whole tank is just as bad as leaving it dirty - and it sent them into shock. NEVER change more then half of the water. Buy a gravel siphon and change 25% of the water once a week with aged tap water that is the same temp of the tank.
