[GaViN]

hi all can anyone lend some advice?
when in the past i keeped large cats (tiger and red tailed) i always get a problem with very small red/pink worms smimming around in the water that i could not get rid of, thay did not seem to upset the fish at all but it did not look nice!!!
what are thay?
how do i get rid?
thanks

Do a partial water change and a light gravel vac and they'll clear up. They live in your substrate and come out when there is excess waste in the water (food, poop, nitrates, low oxygen). Completely harmless.
