What should I do?

Okay, so I just got a regular 3 inch bristle worm out of my EcoPico (will update the thread later with pics of the worm), and I'm deciding whether to keep it or kill it. I feel bad killing things over 1 inch (unless it's a spider). :/

What should I do? What would you do? Do you think people would want it?

 

I'd kept it I have quite a few there a great part of the CUC.

 

I'd keep it. It will help keep your tank clean. It's harmless (just a bit oogly!)

 

Keep it, it should be harmless and is a good member of your CUC. Their numbers are controlled by available food, if you feed less you will have fewer of them.

 

One rock I add was infested with bristle worms. Of course I didn't know this until I added it to my tank. I caught some to reduce the numbers. Once I didn't see as many I stopped catching them so I would still have a few in my system.

 

i am intentionally catching them in my fuge and moving them to my DT because i have a weakish CuC. also some fish will eat them(squirrel fish in my case) so its free food.
