need some help

i need to get rid of alot of bristleworms from my tank ....does any one have any suggestions on gettin rid of them ....in a fast but safe way in my tank

No reason to. They are beneficial.


However if they are a nuisance, take a wiffle ball (plastic balls with the holes), put a piece of shrimp inside & wrap the ball in piece of panty hose.
When trying to get to the food, their bristles will get caught up in the net & you can fish it out.

There are other traps on the market, but I've never tried them.

If he doesn't want that type of fish.....no need to get one to cure a problem.
You also need to know his live-stock before recommending a fish.
There are other options.

Dvs1 is correct not knowing what you have or want that kind of reccomendation could go wrong(sixlines are little bastards) with that being said they do eat smaller worms and so will arrow crabs, but again there are more efficent ways (like the wiffle ball method) to rid them of your tank. curious as to why you are worried about them?
