Acoustic Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 That particular type of bristleworm is VERY beneficial to your tank. Do yourself a favor and keep him. Link to comment
Cryptonic Posted August 21, 2003 Author Share Posted August 21, 2003 Thanks for the information Acoustic, I will keep it. You wouldn't happen to know what it does that is beneficial would you. I tried to find some stuff on the net; but no luck. Thanks Link to comment
Acoustic Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Those particular bristle worms love POOP! Fish poop, coral poop, snail poop, hermie poop, you name it! Link to comment
TiGs Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Keep the worm but keep the population in check, dont over feed. Having a few is good, but having hundreds is just gross. Link to comment
Cryptonic Posted August 23, 2003 Author Share Posted August 23, 2003 hehehe.. I will keep it in mind. I have only seen the one, but their could be more for all I know; and that was the first time I had seen it. Thanks for the info. Link to comment
Acoustic Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 They are like fleas. You only see one or two but there is really 50. Link to comment
tau626 Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 wow..cool I just found one yesterday in my tank too....its about 1 inch long...a pooh eater...nice Link to comment
Cryptonic Posted August 26, 2003 Author Share Posted August 26, 2003 You where right about them being like fleas Acoustic. Almost each day now I see that worm except it seems to either be smaller or bigger which means I definitely have more than 1. And I am starting to see other worms which I will post once I can get some pictures. They look like millipedes and have a brown tint to them. Will post some pictures soon. Link to comment
