I am no expert, but you should relax a bit.
those white worms on the glass of the tank? Seems like what you are describing is harmless(you didnt give much details), but correct me if I am wrong.
those worms are probably the result of over-feeding/over-stocked.

You seem to be doing well on your waterchanges. Probably do some gravel vac too.
Your tank doesnt seem to be over-stocked. Do a large waterchange and cut down on the feeding.

It's overfeeding that usually causes them. Cut down on food and leave one day a week without feeding your fish at all.

Yeh - I had these once when I went away for 2 weeks and my Mum fed them

By the way - have you got a male and female siamese fighter in the same tank ? Correct me if im wrong but the male is very aggressive towards the females and will quite likely kill them. In a much larger tank you can be lucky that they keep apart but probably not in a smaller one, and certainly not one with very few plants.
