I agree...According to Shimek, there is something in the order of a
few thousand different types of worms, and out of this number there is only a small handfull that would be considered problems, and fortunately the majority of that handfull of worms are rarely encountered in a home aquarium. They are scavengers at most, and are very beneficial to a tank. They do more than what the average eye sees, and usually when you wind up with a nice clean tank, they never get the credit, as the snails and hermits usually do.....I have one bristle worm about the size of a ball point pen......its huge. About the only time I ever see any of my worms is at feeding time or after lights out....I agree they do multiply if the conditions are right so i do thin my stock of worms out periodically, but they do not get flushed they get put in other tanks. -- \\\|/// ( @ @ ) -----------oOOo(_)oOOo--------------- oooO ---------( )----Oooo---------------- \ ( ( ) \_) ) / (_/ The original frugal ponder !
