Can one have too many bristleworms?

[michael stern]

They seem to be multiplying rapidly in my fuge. I know they are considered beneficial, but is it a problem that they are multiplying unchecked? Is there anything that I can/should do with them? Does anyone want some?

you can sell them at the swap.

they are great for people setting up a refuge.

they won't hurt anything, they just eat the junk in the sump.

Michael, they'll only multiply as much as there is food for them. If you want less, make sure they get less food and vice versa.

p.s. I'll take some.

Be careful when handling them, those bristles are painful.

Heh....first hand stung :irked: not fun at all. My remedy was HOT water on the finger and the tons of alcohol after pullin all the bristles out of my finger. No pain no gain .

Jonathan,

I can't make the swap (I don't do Saturdays). Besides, nobody has shown me how to frag a fish. If anyone want some, let me know.

Re sump, they are now in my fuge. Should I move some (carefully) into my sump or my display tank?

No problem, just let me know when/how.

I would just leave them in the fuge, they will be happy there.
they may find there way into the tank and sump eventually.
