Bloodworms?

Ghetto · 07-15-2005, 01:38 PM

Ok I fed my fish live blood worms. Some of them fell to the gravel I think they are still alive. Should I clean out the tan? The only thing in the tank now is 4 white clouds. How long do blood worms live?

i may be wrong but i think i read somewhere that bloodworms are actually mosquito larve. If this is true then they will simply turn into mosquitos and be in your house.

They can colonize in your substrate in less than optimal water quality.

You'll see them shoot up your gravel sweep tube when you vac, alive.

You might want to get a corydoras catfish for this tank - he'd help clean up the worms and be glad to get them.

Yeah, nice to be back - I moved to my house and got a dog, so the fish fun got pushed to the background for a while. Still haven't moved the fish - they're still in my parents' basement - gotta get the new electric and stands together first.
