GRRRR Worms in my shrimp tank.. HELP!   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #7833 of 7849 |
Today I noticed worms in my cherry shrimp tank. They are orangish red in color
and a bit over an inch long. What kind of worms are they? Will they harm my
shrimps? How do I exterminate the worms without harming my shrimp? I really
really dont want to have to tear down the tank and refill it as I have a ton of
newly hatched baby shrimps in there. What can I do???? I am fishing out the ones
I can find but am worried they will reproduce before I can get them all out of
there.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.


P.S I really really really hate worms. ewwwwwwwww
