Bristle worms - thank you

The worms showed up in a piece for rock from a 'friend'. Be aware
they multiply REALLY FAST. I think the arrow crab was weak. Never
really sure how to pick our a fish. Many of them from one store have
a hard time surviving, not sure why. My tank tests perfect for all
levels.

I have not cleaned it in months and its sparkly clean. Its in our
store and I get many compliments. Its mainly to keep the kids amused
while we selll stuff to the parents. Rarely do the kids pound on the
glass.

PS - can I email you directly the pictures?

Same here. Also, with the sporging (useless emails) it's also good to
whitelist people. I have message filters set to put a star next to
people with something intelligent to say. I just added you to mine.

As for bristle worms, I'm looking to add some to one of my tanks. I've
been having a bit of detritus build up, so they are generally considered
beneficial.

It's possible that your arrow crab was weak or already dead. I can't
imagine one succumbing to worms as they can easily move away. Just like
coming across a dead animal in the woods covered in maggots. It's
unlikely the maggots killed the animal, but they are doing their role in
nature to clean up the carcass.

Thank you for the information. I will not be writing further as I am
not certain who I am writing to with all the name changes in the
postings.

It doesn't help that your name is Roy or that you chose "RoyBoy" as your
name. We had an active poster here that went over to the dark side.
The people harassing him thought his real name was Roy, and he's found
of cross posting in the boy-lovers newsgroup. Just FYI.

I can recommend http://www.reefcentral.org/ They have some good forums
that are actively monitored.

--Kurt

My filters can tell the difference.

I wish shipping wasn't such a pain - I could give you all you want and still
have plenty left over. Should we gamble on something with USPS overnight?

I need to clean the gravel out of one of my tanks, so I imagine that
I'll find some things while sifting. I moved a rock from that tank to
my 10g QT tank and it turned up with bristle worms. I just need to
"infect" my last display tank.

No problem, then. Throw a dead shrimp in there every other week and they'll show
up in a bit.

I have never posted before to a news group.

That's strange to hear you say that.

To clarify - I have not posted to this news group using Agent before -
I did not know the news group Agent connects to are the same ones that
you go to with Google. That being the case I have posted to TV repair
groups though google, the Jeep boards too.
