reefer769 Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 is it normal, and or okay to have A LOT of bristle worms, even though the tank is only 5.5 gal? its not a pretty site either, so any tips on removing some of them at least would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment

reefer769 Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 will it be okay to put a shrimp into a 5.5gal tank? Link to comment
DementedLullaby Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Shure will =) I like BW's...they're good scavengers/sand stirrers. Link to comment
yankeereefer Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Wish i had that problem - Believe it ir not - i never saw bw's in my LR - Uncured 14 lbs in 10g- I actually got some from my LFS to put in my tank - Haven't seen them sice I put 'em in Link to comment
bowfront26 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 my skunk cleaner loves it when i feed him a fat bristle worm. Very cool to watch he quickly removes all the little bristles with his claws. Link to comment
Steve973 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 ehm, if they are just bristle worms, you don't need to do anything about them. They can only maintain a population that the available food can sustain. Don't worry. Just be sure they are regular friendly bristle worms. Link to comment
ezcompany Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 my goby bit a bw...he spat it out and had his mouth open for a few minutes, ouch Link to comment
pico1 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 arrow crabs love em and its cool to watch them eat because they stab the bristle worms and chomp em down Link to comment
Argent Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 send me some of them bristle worms! hehe my tank could use some! Link to comment
reefer769 Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 thought id give you guys a picture, just to make sure they actually are BW's. Link to comment
djchristone Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 that kinda looks more like a fire worm rather than a bw...which would actually be bad...i saw something like that in my tank and took it out to prevent it from escaping... Link to comment

Steve973 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Yes. It is fine and you don't need to worry. You should just enjoy them. Link to comment
