squiggly shapes in film

Never had this issue before having developed dozens of rolls at home. Tri-X developed normally in a fresh batch of Xtol. Wondering if the stop/fix/perma may have spoiled? Nothing looked strange when poured in my clear cylinder?

Could some contamination gotten in the Xtol when mixing? Could this have picked up nasties while hanging up air drying for about 30hrs?

Ideally don’t want to have to throw out all of my chemistry before I dev my next batch, but rather do that then end up with more rolls looking like this haha
