UpsideDownPumpkin Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 So I made my peace a while back with my bristleworm population but last night I saw this dude crawling about. It’s much thicker than my usual ones (even ones longer than this one are much skinnier) so I just wanted to check... Good dude or bad dude? I’ve got a fire shrimp in the tank and have read about shrimps becoming a target for large fireworms so I don’t really want to take the chance but if its harmless, I’d rather not kill it for no reason. It’s pitch black so I took the best photos I could. He’s spending the night in QT in the jug and I might make him a little QT tank while the jury decides his fate. I’ll try and get some good photos in the morning. It’s a litre jug for scale. Quote Link to comment
Zer0 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 A thick one for sure, but still a good guy. Doesn’t look like a fireworm to me. Quote Link to comment

Broseff Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Absolutely horrifying, but so cool. I've had bristleworms get pretty big, even with predators in the same tank. There's a good chance it's a bristleworm. Might be cool to give it a tank where it's more visible. Quote Link to comment
