Got worms?

It's definitely gross. I should have taken a video. Maybe I'll do that. It's even worse to see them wiggling and waving around. :eek:
 
You guys sure are a delicate bunch.... :p

I'm going to try my hand at culturing blackworms soon; I hope they reach that kind of density.
 
holy smokes! that is unbelievable!!! You sould offer live food cultures in the classifieds, lol!

That has crossed my mind a time or ten. I need to figure out exactly what type of worms they are and find out how to properly cultivate them. They obviously do great in my tank, but why? LoL. I'm not sure what would be necessary to keep them another way.
 
Add a few fish in there, and it'll be gone... You won't have to feed, either!

Most fish would end up eating my red cherry shrimp, not just the worms. I don't want that to happen! Also, I plan to keep the tank as a shrimp only tank so in order to totally get rid of them I'm going to need to swap out the substrate. Believe it or not, I actually have these living in my other tanks as well--tanks with fish in them. I always end up sucking some out when doing gravel vacs. It's insane. However, they're nothing like in the shrimp tank so I don't mind so much.
