I recently found some dark colored worms in my tank on the hood glass. I’ve found about 6 of them there now, varying in size. Largest one has been just shy of a centimeter. Any idea what they are and how to treat? Here’s a video: https://youtu.be/F1qo_sQ3PwA

I'm seeing little white lines on the glass and in the gravel of my tank. My two guesses: blood worms or snails. They're all over the place right now. Ideas? Tips on getting rid of them? Each line is very fine and about 1/2 cm long. Thanks! -Jessica.

A friend just have me several goldfish that were born while she had her pond fish inside last winter. The parents are those cheap, 25-cent feeder goldfish, but all the adults were orange, white, black, or a combination of those. All the babies are silver. Is there something I can/should do to...

Any idea what kind of color results I'll see with those color sands?

I'm starting up another h. zosterae tank. I've heard conflicting opinions on the best color substrate to use to see the best color in the horses. What do you all think? Thanks!

There are a few LFSs that stock live worms for those picky eaters. I've found 2 in a 40-mile radius from Boston, MA that stock them, so they're pretty easily found. Just call a few LFSs in your area, and I'm sure you'll find one that stocks them.

I have a 16g guppy tank and gave them live blood worms one time, because I had some left over from feeding a fire eel in another tank. It's been a couple of weeks since then. I went to do a PWC and vacuum out my gravel, and BLOOD WORMS EVERYWHERE!! Any suggestions on how to get rid of them? I...

If I put brine shrimp into a tank, but there's nothing in there that will eat them, will they just reproduce like crazy and take over the tank?

Should be all set, then. Thanks!

I have a Harlequin shrimp, and I need some cleaner shrimp. I'm looking into sexy shrimp, because I used to have some and loved them. Are the Harlequin and sexy shrimp going to do alright together?

You're right; I have to be patient. ...but I don't wanna.:puppydogeyes: Also, I always thought the grasshopper thing was making fun of Karate Kid II when Mr. Miyagi tells Julie to be like a praying mantis... Clearly, I'm misinformed.:)

I've had three mushrooms for about a month now, and I haven't seen any reproduction; that's why I decided to try to expedite things.

I disliked doing it that way, too. I also dislike having to chop of a star's leg so my harlequin shrimp can eat. I cringe every time. Anyhow, you said to take a strip from the top. Where from the top? Like this image? Thanks!
