Hi, everybody...been gone for a while. I got out of the hobby for a couple years but I've decided to play around a bit with a small tank in my office.
I was working on my 2.5-gal pico setup yesterday and noticed I've got a really big bristleworm in there - about 5" long by 1/4" thick. What do y'all think...does that worm need to come out? I'm concerned about its bioload in the small tank, but especially the ammonia spike I'll get if it dies.

dude take him out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dude it asap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! try to do it when you get back. its good to have a bristle worm but a 5inch one no man to much. take it out. for me i dont like them at all. even though they are a free a clean up crew they sometimes get annoying and grow big. so far ive taken out like 50 in my 29g. and so far ive havnt seen one! which is good. so yea man take it out. IMO they are to much and ugly
