tiny red worms
We cleaned out pump filter and the filter material had a lot of real small
worms in it. What are they? Jim |

tiny red worms
Touché; cleaned the top pads of the filter this afternoon and they were full
of "blood worms" they are a life cycle stage of a flying insect which resembles a small gnat or mosquito but don't bite, so not a problem. You might have noticed those on the surface or above water sides of the filter. The worms make a home of a cocoon of mulm [dirt] you probably noticed those as well. I picked mine out of the pads and fed them to the fish, a treat as far as they are concerned; the worms are sold in LFS for feeding to aquarium fish. Roddy "James S McNinch" wrote in message ...
