Like a boom pew pew, bang explosion! Now I know these buggers have been hiding in my 10g nano for a while now, I see one every other week or so.
I have been letting my tank sit for about 6 months with only a hermit crab in there to make it over run my copes and amphipods, which it has been. So yesterday I added my first fish, after some days in QT, a Spotted Green Mandran Goby and he's looking great. Fast forward 24 hours of him being in the tank and for some reason my tank is completely FILLED with bristle worms of all sizes, wondering around in the open with no cares.
Can someone explain to me, and reassure, why they came out the wood work today?
Is a Mandarin a predator so they are now trying to run? Why not hide better...?
I'm sitting in front of my tank now grabbing the ones I see and none of them are dead either so I don't think it's a sickness thing. All the guys I grabbed were just out and about and I sucked them up with a turkey baster. Thanks in advance!
