    So I noticed these little Sh*ts in my sump today... :sad: now what do I do to get rid of them or are they a problem? I hear they can just die off but can also multiply fast, and at this point it seems they are multiplying...:angry:

    Unless you are dealing with fish fry or dwarf seahorses, you don't have to do anything.

    +1. I had a bunch for a while when the tank was new, and none a few months later.

    They will explode exponentially for a while then have a massive die off. No worries.
