need to kill blood worms

[toxicfish]

Ok I took out must of the gravel and left abt 1.5 - 2 inches (I had abt 6-7" ). I put 3 Clown Loaches in it and abt 50 rosie reds before I removed the gravel. When I was stiring up the gravel as I was removing it all the fish had a BIG dinner.(hell ya) I also did abt a 30% water change .. I'm gonna do another 30% water change In abt 3 days then go back to just doing my regular weekly water changes...


That should do the trick huh???

You will also need to siphon your substrate. I'd leave them but I add them on purpose.[/QUOTE

Why do you add them on purpose??

Nothing like natural food, and don't have to spend as much. Great for little fishies too. Those clown loaches should get all of them quick. Botias too. Rare Aqua aka Jeffish has some nice large tiger botias...

The lil worms are in my 30g too. And I noticed that my tsn always has a full belly from them.I figured it out when I was watching him snap at the gravel all day . He just keeps sucking em out.

a black ghost knife. He does the job in my tank. He'll find every last one.

As the last few posts have said it is supplemental feeding and they help the ugf a little by burrowing in and breaking up any bacterial matting, a lot of fish eat them and things like loaches, corys, and violet gobies love them.

I had a Similar problem with White worms infesting my gravel about a yr ago, My lima would eat them if i stirred up the gravel a lil but I couldnt get rid of them. Thankfully I came into my 120 an broke down my 75, an put all my gravel on trash bags outside to bleach in the sun. That killed them, an havent seen them since.
