Bristle Worms

[beagle31]

my tank has been unning for two years now and when i started i had big bristle worms im talking foot or so gray cool looking u could watch them eat all the left over food when lights went out
my question is is it possible to have no more left because i havnt seen one with the lights on or off now for a couple of months and i look all the time to try to find them? is it possible to have no worms ? :notsure:

yes. If your not overfeeding your fish then the brislte worms shouldnt be able to survive.
And i dont think i heard many people likeing bristle worms in their tank.... Ive read they can kill livestock.

The less excess nutrients in the water the less bristleworms you'll have. There are very few species of bristleworms that will kill livestock.
