Kaizen088 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 I have seen a few of these worms mainly living under Bristlenose logs between the log and the glass bottom of the tank. I wormed the tank with Avitrol Plus 2 days ago at the recommended dosage and when cleaning the tank I spotted two of these. I'v done a google search and it seems to me that they are Bloodworms. I've never fed live Bloodworms and have only fed 2 cubes of frozen Bloodworms in another tank. Could they have hitched a ride somewhere? Are live Bloodworms harmful to Bristlenose? I've been told that you shouldn't feed Bristlenose these as they have spikes which can damage their internals. Should I put some guppies/loaches/paradise fish in to chomp on these suckers?

aquaholic99 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Bloodworms are a midge fly larvae. Harmless and edible but if you dont like them just flyscreen or cover your tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizen088 Posted October 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Think I just found the right info. The source was probably a midge that had made its way into the fish room (located under the house) when I had the door open on a hot night. Might pay to get a bug zapper for the fish room...
